Clinical Case Reporting in Evidence Based Medicine

As the evidence-based medicine movement gathers momentum, it is becoming apparent that valuable information can be derived from individual case studies, provided that the information is structured correctly from the outset. Good clinical reports and case studies must link together several elements of clinical epidemiology, clinimetrics, qualitative research principles and methods for gathering information on individual clinical situations. This book provides coverage on routine case reports in medicine, surgery and psychiatry, case reporting in occupational medicine and in tort litigation at courts of law. It is a practical book which is aimed at medical professionals contributing to research through individual case reports.
