Objective  To evaluate and summarize the relevant evidence of pre-catheterization evaluation in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, and to produce a preoperative assessment sheet useful for planning clinical treatment.  Methods  Literature related to the preoperative assessment of PD catheterization was systematically searched in domestic and foreign guide websites, databases, and related professional association websites and others. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to May 2024. AGREE II and JBI evaluation tools were used to evaluate the quality of included literatures, and the evidences were then extracted and integrated. The preoperative assessment sheet for first placement of PD  catheter was made by a meeting of an expert group.  Results  A total of 10 articles were included, including 4 expert consensus, 4 guidelines and 2 clinical decisions. Twenty-three evidences were summarized, and seven aspects including general condition, medical history, physiological function, abdominal skin, personal habits, social/family support and patient willingness were used for making the assessment sheet.  Conclusions  This assessment sheet can help clinical staff obtain relevant evidence and make treatment plan and health education for the PD patients undergoing first catheterization.
