Methods Collecting the published 20 case-report of EBP and assessing their writing quality in 5 aspects according to the steps of EBP. Results Many Abstracts did not reflect entire context, and convey the overall information to readers, a formative structured Abstract should be taken. Most case-reports only involved with therapy,few diagnostic,harm and prognostic case-reports were republished,few EBP of surgery and other specialties, such as ENT,ophthalmology were mentioned.Searching strategies were not sufficiently described.Most authors only search The Cochrane Library and PubMed,while predigested sources were seldom used.Critical appraisal of evidence was difficult to each author,most papers were lack of appraisal or simply evaluated the validity of used evidence,and applicability of evidence was not clearly explained.All the papers did not conduct post evaluation.Conclusions Much needs to be done in improving the quality of published case-reporters of EBP,a standardized writing model should be recommended.
