Female gender and low bone density in male patients are significant predictors of rib fracture risk. The final model predicting cumulative rib fracture risk of 19 % in patients with localized NSCLC treated with SBRT contained no patient-related parameters, suggesting that dosimetric parameters are the primary drivers.
