Quality improvement in medical case reports is essential. This study found that case reports in otolaryngology journals often lack appropriate summaries and have variable author numbers and lengths, suggesting a need for stricter guidelines.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Writing
  • Scientific Publishing

Background:

  • Case reports are vital for medical literature.
  • Ensuring the quality of case reports is crucial for their survival and impact.
  • Previous assessments of case report quality have been limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the quality of case reports published in two prominent otolaryngology journals.
  • To identify areas for improvement in the presentation and content of case reports.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review of all single-patient articles published in Auris Nasus Larynx and The Journal of Laryngology and Otology in 2000.
  • Data extraction included authorship, origin, abstract relevance, article length, and citation count.

Main Results:

  • 129 case reports from 12 countries were analyzed.
  • Author numbers varied significantly between journals (mean 4.56 vs. 2.63).
  • Abstract appropriateness was higher in Auris Nasus Larynx (79.6%) compared to The Journal of Laryngology and Otology (33.9%).

Conclusions:

  • Case reports necessitate improved and more applicable summaries.
  • Recommendations include implementing limits on author numbers, article length, and reference counts.
  • Standardizing case report formats can enhance their quality and utility.
