Popis: Aim: There lacks a predictive model for overall survival (OS) of node-negative perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC). This study aimed at developing and validating a prognostic nomogram to predict OS of node-negative PHC after resection. Methods: We established a nomogram via multivariate regression analysis by using the design cohort (n = 410, obtained from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database), and its external verification was done in the validation cohort (n = 100, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University). Predictive accuracy of the nomogram was assessed by concordance-index (C-index), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Performance of the nomogram was compared with the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system. Results: Multivariate regression analysis revealed that age, tumor grade, and the count of examined lymph nodes were independent prognostic factors for OS of node-negative PHC. The nomogram had a C-index of 0.603 and 0.626 in design cohort and validation cohort, respectively, which was better than that of AJCC staging system (both p
