PopAnesQA - Adult: leaderboard

PopAnesQA (Shin et al., MLHC 2026, PMLR 340): 623 four-option, scenario-based multiple-choice anesthesiology questions, each built around a patient profile. Unlike MedQA-style knowledge questions, it asks whether a model can make "action-oriented clinical management decisions that are correctly adapted to the target patient population"; the authors found pediatric anesthesia to be "only 0.2%" of five widely used medical QA sets. Answered without retrieval at temperature 0. Every item was generated with Gemini-3-Flash, which also scores highest. Score: accuracy (%) on the 150 adult questions. Higher is better.
