Core Tip	The prognostic value of lymph node ratio (LNR) in postoperative gastric neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) patients was explored in this research. A higher LNR indicated a lower disease-specific survival (DSS) in postoperative gastric NEN patients. In addition, we combined LNR to develop prognostic models to predict DSS for postoperative gastric NEN patients, using the random survival forest (RSF) algorithm and Cox proportional hazards (CoxPH) analysis. The RSF model outperformed the CoxPH model and the 8th edition American Joint Committee on Cancer tumor-node-metastasis staging in the test set. Also, the RSF model demonstrated value in risk stratification and individual prognosis prediction.
