Age distribution was described and Cox proportional hazard regression was used to evaluate the measured effect of age on overall survival and disease-specific survival.A total of 399 retroperitoneal neuroblastoma patients with a median follow-up of 53.0 (interquartile range 17.0-133.5) months were included. We found a unimodal distribution of age with a median age of diagnosis to be 1.0 (interquartile range 0.0-4.0) years. Univariate analysis suggested that transformed age was associated with an increased risk of total death and disease-specific death (OR = 4.2, 95% CI 3.0-5.9; OR = 4.7, 95% CI 3.2-6.8). Adjusted smoothed plots showed a nonlinear correlation between age and disease-specific death. The risk of disease-specific death did not increase sharply as the age increased until reaching the inflection point (age less then 3 years, OR = 0.4, 95% CI 0.2-1.0; age ≥ 3 years, OR = 1.2, 95% CI 0.9-1.5). There was, however, a linear relationship between age and total deaths (OR = 1.0, 95% CI 0.7-1.2). Adjusted multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that ages ≥ 3 years were associated with a significant increased risks of disease-specific death and total death (OR = 2.5, 95% CI 1.7-3.8; OR = 2.3, 95% CI 1.6-3.3, respectively).There was a unimodal age distribution of retroperitoneal neuroblastoma usually presented in infants or younger child. Older age was associated with a lower chance of overall sur
