A recent study evaluated the effectiveness of general-purpose and biomedical large language models (LLMs) in designing pharmacoepidemiologic studies. Researchers found that general-purpose models like GPT-4o and DeepSeek-R1, when combined with advanced prompting techniques, demonstrated higher relevance and better justification logic compared to specialized biomedical LLMs. While all models struggled with ontology-code mapping, the general-purpose LLMs proved more adept at supporting study design, highlighting the significant impact of prompt engineering on LLM performance.
