Synopsis

There is some truth in the saying that 'any patient is a potential case report': it is important, however, to know which patient to choose and how to prepare the report to best effect. Until now, the place of clinical case reports in the evidence-based medicine movement has been uncertain, but in this book the author shows the reader - how to choose relevant clinical cases worthy of reporting - how to report these cases in a clear, structured manner - how to prepare clinical case series reports - how to prepare reports that meet the requirements of medical journals - how to prepare reports that make valuable contributions to the chain of evidence in evidence-based medicine Good clinical reports and case series must link together several elements of clinical epidemiology, clinimetrics, qualitative research principles and methods for gathering information on individual clinical situations. These foundations are explained here in theory and then applied to an annotated practical example. A glossary and bibliography are also included.< br/>The result is a significant addition to the literature on evidence-based medicine.<

About this title

Review

This slim volume is probably the only book devoted to the art and place of clinical case reports in modern medicine. This volume is to be highly recommended. I believe that Jenicek is right when he asks us to take case reports seriously.
