The simulation showed that artificial intelligence significantly influences the decision-making behavior of physicians. In fact, artificial intelligence shifted anesthesiologists' mortality estimates by an average of about 30 percent in a given direction. The results were published in the journal BMC Medicine. During the COVID-19 pandemic, several clinical decision support systems (CDSS) were developed to assist in patient:inpatient triage. However, there has been little research on the interaction between decision support systems and human experts. For the study at the Department of Anesthesia, Intensive Care Medicine and Pain Medicine at MedUni Vienna, 32 physicians were recruited who had to assess the survival probability of 59 critically ill patients on the basis of medical records.
