Writing Case Reports: A Practical Guide from Conception through Publication 1st (2017) (PDF) by Clifford D. Packer

Description

User’s Reviews

Writing Case Reports: A Practical Guide from Conception through Publication is a spectacular and delightfully educational new book recently published through Springer, Amazon, and other venues in paperback and as an e-book. The book takes the reader through the nuances and fulfilling process of writing a case report, from start to finish, from “that initial frisson of excitement”(p. 3) and “we ought to write this up” (p. vii) to publication. The book abounds with technical details and practical advice, clearly organized by type of submission (traditional, clinical problem solving, clinical image, clinical quiz) and steps to publication (selecting journal, outlining a case, and building a strong hypothesis-driven argument, determining authorship order, and to responding to reviewers).

Several aspects of the book were important to me. First, the emphasis on the crucial role of adverse drug reaction case reports in contributing to post-marketing surveillance of new therapeutic agents (chapter 8). Second, the new theme of reporting medical errors–“mistakes”–a la the JAMA Internal Medicine series,”Less is More,” created in 2010 to provide an outlet for authors to share outcomes of unnecessary care through case reports. Third, as a faculty member at a residency program that heavily promotes resident involvement in posters presentations, I greatly appreciated the chapter with condensed, bulletpointed tips to writing a stellar clinical vignette abstract. I commend the authors for the book’s emphasis on obtaining patient consent, a frequent source of confusion (chapter 6).
