RN was detected in 18.4% of the metastatic lesions, and 3.3% symptomatic, 15.1% asymptomatic. The median time of RN was 22.8\u2009months (2.5-39.5), and the rates at 6, 12, and 24\u2009months were 16.8%, 41.4%, and 66%, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that Graded Prognostic Assessment (P\u2009=\u2009.005), Score Index of Radiosurgery (P\u2009=\u2009.015), Recursive Partitioning Analysis (P\u2009=\u2009.011), the presence of primary cancer (P\u2009=\u2009.004), and localization (P\u2009=\u2009.048) significantly increased the incidence of RN. No significant relationship between RN and brain-gross tumour volume doses, planning target volume, fractionation, dose (P\u2009&amp;gt;\u2009.05). Multivariate analysis identified SIR\u2009&amp;gt;\u20096 (OR: 1.30, P\u2009=\u2009.021), primary of breast tumour (OR: 2.33, P\u2009=\u2009.031) and supratentorial localization (OR: 3.64, P\u2009=\u2009.025) as risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>SRT is used effectively in BMs. The incidence of RN following SRT is undeniably frequent. It was observed that the incidence rate increased as the follow-up period increased. We showed that brain-GTV doses are not predictive of RN development, unlike other publications. In study, a high SIR score and supratentorial localization were identified as factors that increased the risk of RN.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Advances in knowledge<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>RN is still a common complication after SRT. Symptomatic RN is a significant cause of morbidity. The causes of RN are still not clearly identified. In many publications, brain dose and volumes have been found to be effective in RN. But, with this study, we found that brain dose volumes and fractionation did not increase the incidence of RN when brain doses were taken into account. The most important factor in the development of RN was found to be related to long survival after SRT.<\/jats:p>\n
