Zusammenfassung:To model the risk of fatal acute toxicity after conventionally fractionated curative radiotherapy of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Scripting was used to automatically extract treatment-related data for all patients treated for NSCLC between 2008 and 2016 from three hospitals. Inclusion criteria were conventionally fractionated curative radiotherapy and no prior treatment in the thorax region. Maximum likelihood estimation and logistic regression (LR) were used to model the risk of fatal acute toxicity defined as death within 90 days from treatment start. Mean lung dose (MLD), patient age and the volume of the gross tumour volume (GTV) were investigated as predictors in a univariable LR analysis. We performed analysis on the data from the three hospitals separately and merged. Predictor variables were considered statistically significant if p
