Gagnier JJ, Kienle J, Altman DG, Moher D, Sox H, Riley D, the CARE GroupThe CARE guidelines: consensus-based clinical case reporting guideline development. J Med Case Reports 2013; 7: 223Abstract. 
PubMed ID (PMID): 24228906
Comments: These recent consensus guidelines were disseminated widely last year in the medical literature. These guidelines, and especially the items 1-11 of table 1 (CARE guidelines checklist), are likely to prove very helpful to residents wishing to better structure their writing of case reports for publication in veterinary medical journals.
