Drug safety in inpatient children. a. The doughnut of drug safety levels for all drugs used in inpatient children. The drug safety levels of groups (a, b and c) that were generated in Fig. 3a are also shown in the inner doughnuts. Drugs with a safety level of 0 were divided into two groups, and the details composition of the two groups are also shown in the two pie charts (top and bottom). b. A bar chart of the ATC first levels of the drugs used in pediatrics but with the pediatric labeling “the safety and efficacy in pediatric patients have not been established”. The number of drugs for each ATC classes is shown in blue bars. The volume of drug used is shown in the brown bars. c. The drug safety levels of the 18 drug clusters are plotted in the heatmap (green means larger proportion and red means smaller). The average drug safety level of each drug cluster is shown in the right bar chart. d. The distributions of drugs of different safety levels in the 18 drug clusters are plotted in the heatmap
