Case reports. An opportunity for sharing clinical experiences
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Evidence-based medicine integrates individual clinical experience with the best available clinical evidence (1). The levels of evidence relate to the clinical question of interest, for example, efficacy and safety studies are based on clinical experiments and studies looking for risk factors are based on case-control designs (2). However, clinical experience is mainly expressed, in the biomedical literature, through case reports.
