Abbreviations: VCF, vertebral compression fracture; VCF+, patients with VCF; VCF-, patients without VCF; CI, confidence interval; AUC, area under the curve; OR, odds ratio; PTV, planning target volume; Dmin, minimal radiation dose to PTV; Dmean, mean radiation dose to PTV; Dmax, maximal radiation dose to PTV; Dx%, radiation dose receiving × % volume of PTV; Vx Gy, PTV volume receiving more than × cGy.

*Analyzed by the Student’s t-test.

Area under the receiver operating characteristics curve.

Analyzed by a multiple logistic regression analysis and stepwise selection.
