The interfractional shifts of these two points were determined based on comparison of the first and subsequent CBCT scans. The patients were grouped using dynamic time warping clustering, and their baseline characteristics were compared. Population margins were calculated using the van Herk formula. Shift directionality was analyzed using principal component analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The proportion of shifts of\u00a0&gt;5\u00a0mm in all CBCT scans was 10.9% for the carina and 22.8% for the hilum. The patients were grouped into small\u2010shift, medium\u2010shift, and large\u2010shift groups based on their hilum shifts. The large\u2010shift group had the largest shifts, with a median (interquartile range) of 3.9\u00a0mm (2.4\u20135.2) for the carina and 6.3\u00a0mm (4.4\u201310.1) for the hilum. The gross tumor volume (GTV) within 2\u00a0cm of the central airways (proximal GTV) was significantly different among groups (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.01).
