Patients with stage I NSCLC (cT1-2aN0M0) treated with SBRT in 2017 to 2021 were included. Acute toxicity was assessed, defined as grade greater than or equal to 2 radiation pneumonitis or grade greater than or equal to 3 non-hematologic toxicity less than or equal to 90 days after SBRT. Prediction models for acute toxicity and 90-day mortality were developed and internally validated.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Among 7279 patients, the mean age was 72.5 years, with 21.6% being above 80 years.
