We retrospectively analyzed 94 patients with HNC who developed OM during RT. We defined OM as a more than grade 2 OM. The cumulative incidence of OM curves of the two categories was estimated using the Kaplan\u2013Meier method and compared using the log\u2010rank test. We estimated the hazard ratio (HR) for OM after the adjustment of factors for covariates using Cox's regression analysis. Patients with smoking history had a significantly later development of OM than those with no smoking history (20\u2009Gy\u2010incidence OM 68.7% vs 39.7%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .003). In contrast, patients undergoing concurrent chemotherapy had an earlier development of OM than those undergoing RT alone (20\u2009Gy\u2010incidence OM 24.2% vs 55.7%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that no smoking history and concurrent chemotherapy were independent predictive factors, with a HR of 0.526 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .025) and 2.690
