The median composite PQM scores are statistically different between the HDPs (65.4%±10.9% (1 SD), and AP 5 plans (59.9%±9.1%). Wilcoxon test p‐value for median difference was 0.027. Note that the relatively low reported scores are indicative not of the poor quality plans but rather of the high evaluation bar. For example, to score 100%, the mean parotid dose must be no more than 15 Gy, as opposed to the RTOG 1016 26 Gy guideline. (19) The detailed comparison at the individual objectives level is presented in Table 3, on the right‐hand side.
