Abstract: Background　Patient safety is a core goal of clinical medical care. Ensuring patient safety has become the core theme of the quality of medical care. Understanding the research status with hot topic analysis of patient safety is the basis for further studies. Objective　To analyze the research status including hot spots of patient safety in China，to provide a reference for related research. Methods　On November 8th，2019，studies about patient safety published between January 1，2010 and November 8，2019 were systematically searched across three retrieval data sources，CNKI，Wanfang Data and CQVIP databases，with "sufferer safety"（患者安全） and "patient safety"（病人安全） as the key words. EndNote X7 was used to exclude the duplicate ones. Bibliometrical method was used to analyze the publication time and authors. CiteSpace 5.5.R2 was used to conduct visualized analysis of the extracted key words. Results　A total of 887 qualified articles were included. From 2010 to 2019，the number of these studies showed an upward trend as a whole（from 46 to 114），among which the number showed a blowout growth trend from 2012 to 2013（from 56 to 74）. Core authors published 33.26%（295/887） of the total articles，which was lower than that（50%） proposed in the Price Law. High-frequency key words concerning patient safety included safety management，nursing，nursing management，nursing safety，patient safety culture and inpatient. From the perspective of burst terms，nursing，safety management，patient，risk management，medical worker and patient participation emerged. Visualized cluster analysis revealed that there were seven clusters，including nursing safety，medical safety，elderly patients，nurse，endoscopy，intensive care unit and falls. Conclusion　Patient safety and medical safety，nursing safety，and safety of elderly patients are the research hotspots about patient safety in China，while the value concept and discourse system，policy orientation and updating of laws and regulations，scientific evaluation system concerning patient safety have not yet become the focus of attention. The development trends mainly focus on three aspects，such as the patient participation for patient safety，evaluation and related evaluation systems of patient safety level，and the informatization of patient safety management.
