125 TOXICITY AFTER ULTRAFOCAL SALVAGE HDR-BRACHYTHERAPY regression was performed to model development of grade ≥2 toxicity over time, with potential risk factors included as fixed effects and a random effect per patient and per follow-up time point. In this multivariable model, odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to assess the independent effect of each risk factor on the outcome, with p-values <0.05 considered statistically significant. Statistical analyseswere performedwith R statistical software (version 3.5.1; the R foun- dation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) and IBM SPSS statistics (version 23.0). RESULTS Table 1 summarizes baseline characteristics. Most patients were primarily treated with EBRT or low-dose-rate (LDR)-BT, with 20% receiving (neo)-adjuvant ADT in the primary setting. A small group (<5%) had already received a previous salvage treat- ment. Median interval between primary treatment and current salvage treatment was 8 years. Seven patients presented with a solitary lymph node or bone metastasis for which they received upfront stereotactic radiotherapy. Baseline GU and GI toxicity was limited to 12% and <2% grade 2 toxicity, respectively. Approximately half of all patients had grade ≥2 ED at baseline. Dosimetry constraints were adhered to in 83% of patients, with maximum outliers to 18.5 Gy (urethra D10%), 14.5 Gy (bladder D1cc) and 12.6 Gy (rectum D1cc). Median follow-up time was 20 months (IQR 12–31).
