  1. aData are only shown for subcodes that were prescribed in > 10% of PKU patients or those that were significant vs the control population. ATC category totals may not add up because subcategories with < 5 patients in the PKU group have been excluded from the table, but may still count to the total for the ATC class of drug
  2. bATC codes that had a significant PR vs the control population
  3. One letter ATC codes (e.g. Dermatologicals, Cardiovascular system) are shown in bold
