Title: Prognostic model for oversurvival and tumor-specific survival prediction in patients with
advanced extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: a population-based analysis
Version: 5 Date: 09 Oct 2023
Reviewer's report:
The authors' feedback was mostly valid, but we still have questions about some of the items,
and would like clarification.

Authors mentioned that T/N/M stage and AJCC stage were not put together in the model. But,
in the figure 4, nomograms contain T, N, M and AJCC stage (III/IV) together. Please explain if
it is correct to include the confounding factors together in the model.

I would recommend that the authors present the detailed cutoff level of score that led to the
division between high-risk and low-risk in this study.
