The publication landscape for case reports has undergone a significant shift, with many high-impact journals deprioritizing or ceasing their publication altogether. This trend has led to the emergence of case-based reviews as an alternative to traditional case reports. Several factors drive this shift. Case-based reviews offer a more comprehensive synthesis of the literature compared to single case reports. They employ systematic search methodologies, reducing the risk of excluding relevant data, and providing robust evidence. From a publisher's perspective, case-based reviews have a greater potential for citation. While recommendations exist for writing traditional case reports, such as the CAse REports (CARE) guidelines, there is a lack of published recommendations for composing case-based reviews. This review aims to address this gap by providing guidance on drafting high-quality case-based reviews.
病例报告的出版格局发生了重大转变,许多高影响力期刊不再重视或完全停止发表病例报告。这种趋势导致基于病例的综述作为传统病例报告的替代方法出现。有几个因素推动了这种转变。与单一病例报告相比,基于病例的综述提供了更全面的文献综合。它们采用系统的搜索方法,降低了排除相关数据的风险,并提供了可靠的证据。从出版商的角度来看,基于病例的综述具有更大的被引潜力。虽然有一些针对传统病例报告撰写的建议,例如 CAse REports (CARE) 指南,但对于撰写基于病例的综述,尚未有发表的建议。本综述旨在通过提供高质量基于病例的综述撰写指南来填补这一空白。
