abstract = {This study evaluates how model parameter values affect
dose-response maps (DRMs) in identifying high-risk bladder
subregions associated with late urinary toxicities in
prostate cancer patients post-radiotherapy.Data from 1808
patients were analyzed for five late bladder toxicities.
Baseline scores were subtracted from maximum toxicity at 12
and 24 months and dichotomized into grades ≥ 1 and ≥ 2.
Bladders were segmented on computed tomography scans, and
dose-surface maps (DSMs) were created on 91 × 90 voxel
grids using spherical and cylindrical coordinates. Voxel
doses were converted to equivalent dose in 2 Gy fractions
(EQD2, α/β 1-3 Gy). Welch's t and Mann-Whitney U equations
were applied at each voxel location. Multiple comparisons
were corrected via permutation testing (10-10000
iterations), and statistically significant voxels were
identified using the 90th and 95th percentiles of Tmax/Umax.
Sensitivity of parameters was assessed by varying one
parameter at a time, with changes > 400 voxels $(∼5\%$ of
8190) classified as large and ≤ 400 as small.Urinary tract
obstruction was the only toxicity significantly associated
with bladder DSMs, focusing results on this outcome. After
baseline adjustment and dichotomization, event/nonevent
counts were 62/701 (grade≥1) and 21/742 (grade≥2; N =
763). DRM results showed large effects of toxicity grade
threshold, coordinate system, statistical test equation, and
Tmax/Umax thresholding. EQD2 α/β showed variable effects,
large for cylindrical and small for spherical coordinates,
while the number of permutations had only a small
effect.Parameter selection significantly influences
high-risk subregion identification in DRMs, emphasizing the
need for standardized parameter reporting for meaningful
external comparisons.},
