This study explores the potential of OpenAI's ChatGPT as a decision support tool for acute Ulcerative Colitis presentations in the setting of an emergency department. We assessed ChatGPT's performance in determining disease severity using TrueLove and Witts criteria and the necessity of hospitalization for UC patients, comparing results with those of expert gastroenterologists. Out of 20 cases, ChatGPT's assessments were found to be 80% consistent with gastroenterologist evaluations and indicated a high degree of reliability. This suggests that ChatGPT could provide as a clinical-decision support tool in assessing acute Ulcerative colitis, serving as an adjunct to clinical judgment.
