Publisher's Synopsis
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. The first edition of 'Clinical Case Reporting in Evidence-Based Medicine' was timely in its explanations of the theory and practice of choosing and reporting clinical cases: this new edition provides additional coverage on routine case reports in medicine, surgery and psychiatry, case reporting in occupational medicine and in tort litigation at courts of law.
This remains an essentially practical book which is a vital companion to any medical professional contributing to research through individual case reports.
