The case report is the cornerstone of both medical teaching and writing. However, during recent years the value of the case report has been questioned, so much so that it has been abandoned by many journals. The aim of this study was to assess case reports published by the Irish Journal of Medical Science (IJMS) and to examine ways to preserve this type of article.
A review of all single-patient case reports published in the IJMS in 2008 and 2009.
Forty-eight cases were published from nine countries. The range of authors was 2-11, length 525-1,787 words and number of references 4-24. All cases contained abstracts.
Stricter guidelines with regards to a shorter more focused article should help to preserve this form of publication.
病例报告既是医学教学的基石，也是写作的基础。然而，近年来病例报告的价值受到了质疑，以至于许多期刊都不再刊登病例报告。本研究旨在评估《爱尔兰医学科学杂志》（IJMS）发表的病例报告，并探讨保存这种类型文章的方法。
对 IJMS 2008 年和 2009 年发表的所有单一患者病例报告进行了回顾。
9 个国家共发表了 48 例病例。作者人数为 2-11 人，文章长度为 525-1787 字，参考文献数量为 4-24 条。所有病例均包含摘要。
制定更严格的指南，要求文章更简短、更集中，将有助于保留这种出版形式。
