ICI, immune checkpoint inhibitor; irAE, immune-related adverse event; OR, odds ratio; ref, reference; RT, radiotherapy.

a

Age was assessed as a continuous variable.

b

Time between onset of ICI-associated irAE and RT was assessed as a continuous variable.

c

Time between last ICI treatment and RT was assessed as a continuous variable.

d

Mean lung dose was assessed as a continuous variable as the equivalent dose in 2 Gy fractions (EQD2) assuming α/β = 3 Gy, which take into consideration dose and fraction size (see Methods).
