As the proportion of Australians categorised overweight or obese approaches 70%, it is not well understood how this growth will impact RT departments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the current and potential future body mass index (BMI) of RT patients at one centre, with the purpose of identifying variables that may impact resource planning decisions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>De\u2010identified demographic data including gender, age, diagnosis code, activity code and BMI were obtained from MOSAIQ\u00ae oncology information system for 5548 courses of RT commenced between 2017 and 2020, and retrospectively analysed. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise the data. Simple and multiple linear regression was used to analyse for statistically significant relationships between variables.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of all patient courses, 64% were overweight or obese. Average BMI increased over time by 0.3\u2009kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> per year. Courses related to the young and elderly had a lower average BMI. Breast, brain\/skull, and pelvis\/prostate treatment sites had a significant association with a higher average BMI. Thorax treatment sites had a lower average BMI, but this average is increasing at the fastest rate of all treatment sites. Prone breast courses had an average BMI 5.58\u2009kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> higher than IMRT\/VMAT courses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Results demonstrate that patient BMI is increasing. Resources related to breast courses (breast board, prone board) and thorax courses (lung board) may experience increased strain in the future. Modifications to department workflow and scheduling are likely required. Further research into staffing implications is recommended.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jmrs.652","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,27]],"date-time":"2023-01-27T06:55:34Z","timestamp":1674802534000},"page":"145-153","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["An evaluation of radiation therapy patient body mass index trends and potential impact on departmental resource planning"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"70","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5241-1069","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Branagh","family":"Laing","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Clinical Sciences Queensland University of Technology  Brisbane Queensland Australia"},{"name":"Cancer Care Services, Department of Radiation Oncology Royal Brisbane &amp; Women's Hospital  Butterfield Street Herston Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6276-815X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Caldwell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Clinical Sciences Queensland University of Technology  Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Debra","family":"Vincent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cancer Care Services, Department of Radiation Oncology Royal Brisbane &amp; Women's Hospital  Butterfield Street Herston Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gregory","family":"Rattray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cancer Care Services, Department of Radiation Oncology Royal Brisbane &amp; Women's Hospital  Butterfield Street Herston Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,26]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Cancer","year":"2020","author":"Australian Institute of Health and Welfare","key":"e_1_2_10_2_1"},{"volume-title":"Overweight and Obesity: An Interactive Insight","year":"2020","author":"Australian Institute of Health and Welfare","key":"e_1_2_10_3_1"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ijo.2016.165"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/dar036"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","unstructured":"World Health Organisation.Obesity and Overweight 2020[cited 2020 Sept 10].
