Abstract Background Evidence regarding the characteristics and prognosis of neuroblastoma (NBL) in China is limited. We aimed to investigate the characteristics and prognosis of intermediate- or high-risk NBL in children in China. Methods We included 147 patients with intermediate- or high-risk NBL evaluated from January 2006 to March 2015. The patients were aged 1 month to 15.5 years, 66% of them were boys, and 117 (79.6%) were diagnosed with high-risk NBL. Results After a median follow-up of 32.5 months, 80 (45.6%) patients survived, with a median survival time of 48 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 36.41–59.59). High-risk patients (hazard ratio [HR]: 12.467; 95% CI: 11.029–12.951), partial response (PR) (HR: 1.200; 95% CI: 1.475–2.509) or progression disease (PD) (HR: 1.924; 95% CI: 1.623–3.012) after induction chemotherapy, and intracranial metastasis (HR: 3.057; 95% CI: 0.941–4.892) were independent risk factors for survival (p
