A case report is a detailed description of a diagnosis, treatment, and/or follow-up of an individual exceptional patient. Case reports also contain some demographic information about the patient (for example, age, gender, ethnic origin).
As many journals require an EC opinion for case reports, we recommend submitting them to EC Research.
A case report may be submitted directly to EC using the tool below, no submission to CTC is required.
ICF template for a case report (new version since May 2021)
In addition to the ICF (without the patient's name), please also provide us with a brief explanation (covering letter) of the case description. The ICF can only be signed by the patient after EC submission and approval. Make sure that you do not provide the name of a patient to EC.
