Differences between Case series and Case reports
A descriptive study of uncontrolled observations in a single patient or a group of patients is formed by case reports and case series. A case report is, by definition, limited to information on a single patient, but a case series is a collection of information about several individuals.
A case report is described in detail as “a few individuals or clinical cases having a unique disease or complication, rare combinations of diseases, and odd or deceptive semiology, aetiology, or outcome” by the Dictionary of Epidemiology. In medical language, a case series is “a group of individuals with similar characteristics used to define certain clinical, pathophysiological, or operational features of a disease, therapy, or diagnostic approach.”
A case report is described as “a thorough record of the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of a single patient” in the National Cancer Institute lexicon, while a case series is described as “A group or series of case reports involving individuals who were given comparable therapy.” Case series reports often provide comprehensive information on individual patients, containing demographic data (such as age, gender, and ethnicity) and data on diagnosis, treatment, response to therapy, and post-treatment follow-up.
The patients in the case series usually share a common characteristic denominator like disease, therapy or adverse event.
