Abstract
Accurate medication information is important for children, as dosing errors can have severe consequences compared to adults. We propose an automated method to extract pediatric information from Summaries of Product Characteristics (SPC). We used AirOps, a commercial and no-code visual editor to implement a processing chain with large language model GPT-4o mini on 50 SPCs. The task focused on evaluating pediatric indications and we extracted relevant sentences from all segments with a 95% recall rate and 78% precision rate. The results suggest the model can reliably classify drugs according to their pediatric indications. A no-code approach made it possible to implement the task for a healthcare professional with no training in information technology.
