Out of 1133 articles, 101 were selected for analysis, and subsequently 28 papers were excluded when QIs were not clearly defined nor specific to RT. Unpublished consensus guidelines were also excluded, at this stage. The QIs proposed in 73 final papers were categorised: 25, 29 and 15 categories for the structural, process and outcome QI, respectively. Most papers originated from the USA (37), Europe (21) and Canada (7). In total 431 QIs specific to RT were reported: 51 on structure, 320 on process and 60 on outcomes. Most structural QIs focussed on staffing and workload and number of equipment while most of the process QIs focussed on specific dosimetric parameters, indications to treat and used fractionation/total dose. Outcome QIs focussed on toxicity grading and survival. The list of QIs by category as well as the number of papers in which they are suggested (N>1) are shown in Table 1. Sixty-seven percent of QIs were actually collected and analysed. Most were collected at a national (50%) and international level (19%). Finally, 30% of the QIs were general, and 70% were site specific (Figure 1).
