BACKGROUND: Lymph node ratio (LNR) has been associated with long-term survival in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma; however, this has not been demonstrated in other periampullary malignancies. The put-pose of this study was to determine if LNR is associated with survival in other periampullary malignancies.METHODS: A retrospective review of a prospective database of 522 pancreaticoduodenectomies (PDs) performed between 1988 and 2007 was undertaken. Clinicopathologic data were collected, and LNR was calculated. Patients with positive lymph node (LN) status were placed into the following groups: (1) LNR = 0; (2) LNR
