guidance to writers by a journal has been linked to an increase in the completeness of published randomized trials.
Although rules for writing adverse-event Case Study Reports have been published, there are no universal reporting requirements for case reports. Our main goal was to use a consensusbased method to set reporting requirements for case reports.

emphasis
has on
relevance, customized
care, as seen by the increase of case reports in an era where clinical trials and systematic reviews dominate the tables of content of medical journals.
Unlike randomized controlled trials, case reports are individual accounts about the care of specific patients with a sample size of one.
They may be examined after being consistently gathered and integrated into more enormous
databases, allowing for the early detection of efficacy and hazards.
