Very interesting discussion. "When case reports genuinely reflect the best available evidence," and every case worth reporting in this world is reported and sorted out through systematic reviews would that be a new research method or would it come close to data mining through electronic health records? regards, rb On Feb 1, 2018 11:12 AM, "Zachary Munn" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: When case reports genuinely reflect the best available evidence, it *may* be worthwhile to include these in a systematic review.

But most, if not all, of the literature on her topic, is reports of a case or of several cases. My question is: is it possible to conduct a systematic review of case reports? If you have done this, is there anything special we should know about how to do it? I have increasing experience of working on systematic reviews but not come across this question before. If there is a more appropriate review type that we should use, I would be interested to have details. I have found papers that talk about "aggregating case reports” and a “collective analysis” of case reports, but not sure they give details of methods.
