This paper observes the publication and cooperation of research countries and institutions related to the quality of life of peritoneal dialysis patients, understands the research hotspots, explores the research trends, and provides a reference for further research by scholars. Methods: The search database was the Web of Science core collection, the search terms "peritoneal dialysis" and "quality of life", the document type "Article or Review", the language "English" and the period from 1985 to 2022. Results: A total of 1,597 literature were retrieved, and the number of documents showed an annual increase. The United States has the highest volume and centrality of publications and the most cooperation with other countries. The institution with the largest number of articles is the University of Toronto in Canada. The top three most highly cited documents were analyzed to derive the knowledge base of the research area. According to the analysis of keywords, there are high-frequency keywords such as "quality of life" and "peritoneal dialysis" and 11 keyword clusters. Understand the changing trends and frontiers in the research field through timeline maps and mutated words. Conclusion: The comparison of quality of life between peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis and the study of factors influencing the quality of life is a hot research topic. With the gradual deepening of the research, it is suggested that future research should focus on the intervention research of influencing factors and clarify the intervention measures to improve patients' quality of life.
