An NHS computer algorithm that prioritises liver transplant patients most likely to die soon has led to younger patients waiting 156 days longer on average than those over 60. The algorithm, launched in 2018, gives a score based on 21 recipient and seven donor parameters. Patients like Sarah Meredith, 31, have been waiting two years for a transplant. NHS Blood and Transplant defends the system as saving lives but acknowledges the stress on younger patients.

The article reports that scientists are questioning the reliability of the QCovid risk prediction algorithm used by the NHS to prioritise COVID-19 vaccinations. Due to missing data on weight or ethnicity, the algorithm automatically assigns a high BMI and high-risk ethnicity, leading to young, healthy patients being incorrectly labelled as high risk and called for early vaccination. GPs have identified hundreds of such cases, causing anxiety and potentially delaying vaccinations for more vulnerable individuals. NHS Digital acknowledged the issue and said clinicians can remove patients from the shielding list.

A study published in npj Digital Medicine tested four commercial large language models (Bard, ChatGPT, GPT-4, and Claude) for their tendency to propagate discredited race-based medical beliefs. When asked about kidney function, lung capacity, and skin thickness, the models sometimes endorsed debunked racial differences, particularly affecting Black patients. The study concludes that these biases pose a potential hazard and urges caution before using such models in clinical decision-making.

Patients in affected states allege the system disadvantages poorer regions, and hospitals have sued to overturn the policy.
