We provide online training in writing case reports at Scientific Writing in Health and Medicine (SWI HM) which includes access to CARE-writer , an online app that can be used to write case reports or case report preprints.Tips that may help:Know that it is easier to write the sections of a case report in a different sequence than the order in which the sections appear in a published case report. First: Select a case and identify the message you wish to communicate , as well as your audience. Is this case report about an outcome , a diagnostic assessment , an intervention , a new or rare disease , or something else?Second: Gather the necessary information to accurately write WHAT happened as a timeline and as a narrative. Create the timeline of your case report—a visual summary of WHAT happened in the case report (see examples of timelines that follow the CARE guidelines) before writing the narrative section.Third: Complete the remainder of the case report using specialty-specific information if necessary with appropriate scientific references and explanations. Support WHY an outcome occurred with reference to the scientific and historic literature whenever possible. Write the abstract last. De-Identification: Patient information must be de-identified and informed consent obtained prior to submitting your case report to a journal.Writing SequencePart 1—Working Title , WHAT happened: Timeline and NarrativeDevelop a descriptive and succinct working title that describes the phenomenon of greatest interest (symptom , diagnostic test , diagnosis , intervention , outcome) .WHAT happened. Gather the clinical information associated with patient visits in this this case report to create a timeline as a figure or table. The timeline is a chronological summary of the visits that make up the episodes of care from this case report. Narrative of the episode of care (including tables and figures as needed) .The presenting concerns (chief complaints) and relevant demographic information.Clinical findings: describe the relevant past medical history , pertinent co-morbidities , and important physical examination ( PE) findings. Diagnostic assessments: discuss diagnostic testing and results , a differential diagnosis , and the diagnosis.Therapeutic interventions: describe the types of intervention (pharmacologic , surgical , preventive , lifestyle) and how the interventions were administered (dosage , strength , duration , and frequency) . Tables or figures may be useful. Follow-up and outcomes: describe the clinical course of the episode of care during follow-up visits including (1) intervention modification , interruption , or discontinuation; (2) intervention adherence and how this was assessed ; and (3) adverse effects or unanticipated events. Regular patient report outcome measurement surveys such as PROMIS® may be helpful. Part 2—WHY it might have happened: Introduction , Discussion , ConclusionPart 3—Abstract , Keywords , References , Acknowledgements , and Informed ConsentAbstract. Briefly summarize in a structured or unstructured format the relevant information without citations. Do this after writing the case report. Information should include: (1) Background , (2) Key points from the case; and (3) Main lessons to be learned from this case report. Keywords. Provide 2 to 5 keywords that will identify important topics covered by this case report. References. Include appropriately chosen references from the peer-reviewed scientific literature.Acknowledgements.
