Objective  To analyze the research hotspots and trends of Chinese literature on medical quality evaluation indicators in China in recent years. Methods  We searched for relevant Chinese literature on medical quality evaluation indicators on China National Knowledge Infrastructure from January 2000 to December 2024, and analyzed the annual publication volume, authors and institutions, research hotspots and frontiers. Results  Finally, 177 articles were included in the literature. From 2000 to 2024, the number of Chinese literature on medical quality evaluation indicators in China showed a fluctuating upward trend, reaching 15 articles per year in both 2015 and 2024. The issuing units mainly included the National Institute of Hospital Administration, the School of Public Health of Peking University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, etc. The publishing team mainly included author teams such as MA Xiemin, LIANG Minghui, XIA Ping, etc. The high frequency keywords and top 10 keywords for centrality ranking included medical quality, evaluation indicators, indicator system, Delphi method, evaluation, evaluation system, quality evaluation, indicators, clinical pathways, and hospital management. “Case classification” was the earliest emerging term in the study of medical quality evaluation indicators. In terms of burst intensity, the top 5 keywords for burst intensity included Delphi method, case classification, problem, data quality, and evidence-based evaluation. Conclusion  The publishing institutions and research teams of Chinese literature on medical quality evaluation indicators in China are relatively loose, and there are still problems such as insufficient practical application of medical quality evaluation indicators and single research tools and methods.
