Abstract We analyzed 19,123 natural language processing-related studies to explore the differences in task distributions and application contexts between large language models (LLMs) and non-LLM methods in health care. Through topic modeling analysis, we found that LLMs demonstrate advantages in open-ended tasks, while non-LLM methods dominate in information extraction tasks. These findings highlight the complementary strengths of the two technical paradigms and provide reference for their integration strategies in future health care applications.
