Whether patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) can benefit from patient education via ChatGTP has not been sufficiently investigated.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We enrolled 60 participants enrolled from 1 January 2024 to 1 September 2024 who had clinically diagnosed KOA for the first time. Participants were excluded from analyses if they post-traumatic osteoarthritis and history of knee surgery. Participants received physician education (n = 18), free education with ChatGPT (n = 21), or supervised education (n = 21) with ChatGPT with a pre-defined outline (5 questions for reference). The primary outcome was the physician-rated patient knowledge level on KOA measured by a visual analogue scale (VAS, 0-100 mm). We also evaluated all answers from ChatGPT via VAS rating.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Patients receiving free education with ChatGPT asked substantially more questions compared with those patients who were given a pre-defined outline (17.0 ± 9.3 versus 10.3 ± 7.6, P < 0.001). With the outline given to patients, ChatGPT gave higher-quality answers compared with the answers from the group with free education (92.1 ± 4.3 versus 81.4 ± 10.4, P = 0.001). Finally, the supervised education group achieved similar education effect (knowledge level, 95.3 ± 4.7) compared with physician education group (95.6 ± 5.3) while the free education group had a substantially lower knowledge level (82.1 ± 12.3, P < 0.001).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Patient education by ChatGPT with pre-structured questions could achieve good patient education on KOA compared with patient education by physicians.

Our results indicate a growing body of literature, accompanied by extensive international collaborations, with the United States and China leading in research output. In terms of research themes, mesenchymal stem cells continue to garner sustained attention for their reparative applications. Over the past decade, there has been a marked increase in studies on exosomes, extracellular vesicles, and kidney organoids.
