Guide to Writing Autobiographical Case Reports (autobiographical-care)

An open-source guide to writing autobiographical case reports. For more, see the Introduction.

Abstract

A case report is a structured document that explores one or more interrelated conditions, experiences, treatments, outcomes, and so on. While considered low on the hierarchy of evidence, they offer valuable insights into otherwise poorly-understood phenomena, and are distributed throughout medical, scientific, literary, and academic disciplines. The CARE (CAse REport) Guidelines are widely considered the standard, but do not address somewhat unique situations in which one writes about one's own case.

Writing autobiographical case reports enables individuals, including patients, caregivers, and professionals, to articulate their journeys through rare or atypical conditions. Key reasons for writing these reports include providing new information about uncommon conditions, reflecting on significant personal impacts, and addressing gaps in published research. This guide especially seeks to empower individuals from underrepresented populations to document their experiences, enhancing self-advocacy and promoting awareness of complex health challenges. These self-reported narratives can inspire further research, inform treatment practices, and embolden those who share similar experiences. This guide explores considerations unique to the writing of autobiographical case reports, including ethics, voice, and modifications to the recommended structure.

    This guide explores considerations unique to the writing
    of autobiographical case reports, and emphasizes the
    importance of personal narratives in medical and academic
    literature. While the existing CARE (CAse REport)
    Guidelines provide a framework for traditional case
    reports, they do not explicitly address self-reported
    experiences. Autobiographical case reports enable
    individuals, including patients, caregivers, and
    professionals, to articulate their journeys through rare
    or atypical conditions, contributing valuable insights to
    clinical understanding and advocacy.


    This guide serves to empower individuals from
    underrepresented populations to document their
    experiences, thereby enhancing self-advocacy and promoting
    awareness of complex health challenges. Key reasons for
    writing these reports include providing new information
    about uncommon conditions, reflecting on significant
    personal impacts, and addressing gaps in medical,
    scientific, literary, and academic knowledge. These
    self-reported narratives can inspire further research,
    inform treatment practices, and embolden those who share
    similar experiences.
