Thirteenpercent received another course of neoadjuvant pelvic radiotherapy, whi<strong>le</strong> 28%received no neoadjuvant radiotherapy. The total number of missing data was 430/1071or 40% (including 335 patients with unknown cStage).Short and long course neoadjuvant radiotherapy are measurab<strong>le</strong> for 48 centres usingthe prospective database. In 6 centres all cStage II-III patients are treated with a longcourse of neoadjuvant radiotherapy. However, all 6 centres have 3 eligib<strong>le</strong> patients or<strong>le</strong>ss. On the contrary, in 10 centres no cStage II-III patients are treated with a longcourse. Nine of these centres have 10 eligib<strong>le</strong> patients or <strong>le</strong>ss. In 38 centres, no patientis treated with a short course of neoadjuvant radiotherapy, whi<strong>le</strong> in 5 centres morethan 10% of cStage II-III patients is treated with a short course.Importantly, for the interpretation of these results risk-adjustment (tumour localisation,cCRM, age, comorbidities) is necessary.The QI is not measurab<strong>le</strong> for the administrative cohort due to an inability to distinguisha short or long course from another course of radiotherapy (see appendix).
