High-quality case reports are more likely when authors follow reporting guidelines. During 2011e2012, a group of clinicians, researchers, and journal editors developed recommendations for the accurate reporting of information in case reports that resulted in the CARE (CAse REport)</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Statement and Checklist. They were presented at the 2013 International Congress on Peer Review and Biomedical Publication, have been endorsed by multiple medical journals, and translated into nine languages.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Objectives: This explanation and elaboration document has the objective to increase the use and dissemination of the CARE Checklist in writing and publishing case reports.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Article Design and Setting: Each item from the CARE Checklist is explained and accompanied by published examples. The explanations and examples in this document are designed to support the writing of high-quality case reports by authors and their critical appraisal by editors, peer reviewers, and readers.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Results and Conclusion: This article and the 2013 CARE Statement and Checklist, available from the CARE website [www.care-statement.org] and the EQUATOR Network [www.equator-network.org], are resources for improving the completeness and transparency of case reports.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Keywords: Case report; Case study; EQUATOR network; Health research reporting guidelines; CARE guideline; Timelines; N-of-1 </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Citation:</strong> Riley, D.
