id="par0005" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Case reports and case series are descriptive observational studies. Although there is no agreement on the number of patients to be included in the definitions of both types, it is generally accepted that case reports describe selected observed characteristics of a single patient, while case series describe a group of patients with a certain condition in common.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1,2</span></a> Nevertheless, the scientific literature does not clearly differentiate between these definitions. For example, in PubMed both types of study are included under the single descriptor (or MeSH term) of “case reports”, regardless of the number of patients observed (one or more than one).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> One clearly established characteristic is that both types of study have no control group.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">According to Oxford University, evidence-based principles of medicine place case series lower down in terms of level of scientific evidence than randomised clinical trials, systematic reviews or cohort studies. Case reports were excluded from its 2011 update.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a></p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">However, case reports have always been used in teaching<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> and they reflect contemporary medical and surgical practice. They show the decision-making process simply and didactically in patients with a specific and usually singular set of symptoms.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> Case reports and case series often document the emergence of new diseases or adverse reactions to medication. In spite of their major limitations (as the lack of a control groups makes it impossible to evaluate a cause–effect relationship or to test a research hypothesis<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1,7</span></a>), case reports and case series are a useful means of epidemiological vigilance and formulating causal relationships.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2,3,8,9</span></a> Case series are sometimes the only possible design (for example, to complete data on the long-term safety aspects of drugs).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a></p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Evidence-based medicine uses randomised and controlled clinical trials (as well as meta-analysis and systematic reviews of them).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> However, case reports and case series still form a part of medical knowledge, as is shown by the fact that more than 1,700,000 case reports and case series have now been registered in PubMed since the first publication of a case series in 1936.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> This massive number of publications (a million more are recorded in PubMed than is the case for clinical trials) would have to be added to the majority of communications in scientific conferences that are not published in journals. These are known as “grey literature”, and they often have this type of descriptive study design.</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Little attention has been paid to patients’ right to privacy in scientific publications of case reports and case series, including communications in Conferences or scientific journals. Based on anecdotal clinical observations rather than a prior hypothesis, works of this type are not designed using research project methodology and they are therefore not subject to approval by a Research Ethics Committee (REC). Thus when these studies are presented in Conferences or published in scientific journals, the researchers and even the editorial committees of journals generally ignore ethical-legal aspects. This is a striking fact, as given the small number of patients included in cases reports and series, together with the fact that they describe infrequent, exceptional or unexpected situations, it is far easier to identify the patients involved than it is for those in other types of study with larger samples.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a></p><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0030">Legal basis</span><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In the field of healthcare the right to privacy is divided into two differentiated rights<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a>: (1) the right to <span class="elsevierStyleBold">privacy</span> and (2) the <span class="elsevierStyleBold">right to data protection</span>.</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The right to privacy: <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">privacy</span> is a fundamental right that is one of the list of rights covered by the Spanish Constitution (SC) of 1978 (art. 18.1) and it derives from the right to respect for private and family life recognised in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The consideration that privacy is a “human right” gives it a special meaning, a value that is special or extra in comparison with other rights. The right to privacy includes the <span class="elsevierStyleBold">right to confidentiality</span> and is comparable with “professional secrecy” (“confidentiality” is a better expression than “medical professional secrecy”, as it is conceptually broader). It is understood to be an obligation that binds professionals when working in an area that includes personal privacy. On the other hand, professional secrecy stems from the self-regulation imposed by the profession (professional ethics), while confidentiality is a right held by patients. From a bioethical viewpoint based on classical principles, the respect for privacy, as well as being based on respect for the <span class="elsevierStyleBold">principle of independence</span>, is also a part of the obligation of healthcare professionals not to do harm.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12,13</span></a></p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The right to data protection: the protection of individuals in connection with how their personal data are managed is a fundamental right in law: all individuals have the right to <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">protection of their personal data</span> (art. 18.4 CE).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14–16</span></a></p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">At a European level, in May 2016 the European Data Protection Regulation<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> (EDPR) was published. This covers the protection of individuals respecting the management of their personal data and the free circulation of such data, replacing the Directive that had been in force.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> This European Regulation, which became applicable in Spain on 25 May 2018, unifies and modernises European regulations on data protection, offering citizens better control of their personal data.</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The following laws stand out among the applicable national laws governing the use of health data in observational research: the Spanish data protection law (LOPD),<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span></a> the Royal Decree that expresses this<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0100"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20</span></a> and the Law of Patient Autonomy (LBAP).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0105"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a> Until 25 May 2018, Spain and the other member states were able to adopt or initiate the preparation of specific regulations that may have been necessary to permit or facilitate the application of the EDPR. After 25 May 2018 the EDPR is obligatory in all of its elements, and it is directly applicable in each member state.</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">According to the EDPR, health and, as a novelty, biometric data,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fn0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> are considered to be “<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">special categories of personal data</span>”, and use of them is expressly prohibited unless this is necessary for care purposes or if some circumstance of general interest is present, or if the <span class="elsevierStyleBold">individual involved expressly consents to the same</span> (article 9.2).</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The EDPR introduces the “<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">pseudonymisation</span>”<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fn0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> of personal data as a means of reducing the risks to the patients involved and helping researchers to fulfil their obligations, without aiming to exclude any other data protection measure. Nevertheless, pseudonymisation (or coding or reversibly disassociating data, which are the same thing), and which in certain types of research studies and/or specific circumstances, and always after a previous finding in favour by a REC, allows us to use patient health data without their consent, is not applicable to the publication of a case report, as in this the researcher is fully aware of the identity of the patient.</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Patient consent is one of the fundamental bases for working with personal data, and in our case with health data. The EDPR requires consent to be generally free, informed, specific and clear. For consent to be considered clear, the EDPR requires that the parties involved make a declaration or a positive action that expresses their agreement. Consent cannot be deduced from patient silence or inactivity.</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Additionally, the EDPR states that consent has to be <span class="elsevierStyleBold">explicit</span> in special categories of personal data (such as the management of health data). This is an even stricter requisite, as consent cannot be understood to be implicitly granted by some type of positive action. It is therefore necessary for a declaration or action to explicitly refer to consent and the specific action (such as the publication of a case report).</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It has to be taken into account that consent must be <span class="elsevierStyleBold">verifiable</span> and that the individual in charge of data processing, the chief researcher, who is usually the first signatory of the paper, must be able to prove that the patient “consented to the use of their health data”.</p></span><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0035">Model of the proposed patient information and informed consent document</span><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The model of the patient information (PI) and informed consent document (IC) that we propose is standardised and specific for use in case reports and case series. It fulfils the recommendations of the Committee on Publications Ethics (COPE) and has been approved by the Territorial REC of A Corunna-Ferrol, which belongs to the REC network of the Autonomous Community of Galicia (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#sec0040">Appendix A</a>). This model is for the use of observational type health research data that does not use human biological samples or tissues (expressly excluded from the field of application of the Biomedical Research Law).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0115"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">23</span></a> Its design takes into account measures to facilitate the participation of individuals who are sufficiently personally independent to consent and who have some type of disability that prevents them from reading or writing, according to the rights of individuals with a disability.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0120"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">24</span></a> It also includes the possibility of revoking consent. Due to its special importance we underline the identification of the type of information supplied in the case of clinical reports (use or otherwise of sensitive material – photographs or videos – and, if this is so, the actual risk of identifying the patient).

It is also necessary to obtain their informed consent or that of their family prior to publication (the principle of independence). Even when there are no reasonable possibilities of identifying the patient in a case report, patients must always decide on the use of their health data.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0125"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25</span></a> Obtaining their informed consent will also give the researcher due protection again any possible claim or lawsuit by the patient due to the publication of their health data.</p><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The “International Committee of Medical Journal Editors” recommends that the informed consent of patients be demanded prior to publication, although it does not expressly mention case reports.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0125"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25,26</span></a> This item of diligence should also be included in published papers<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">26</span></a> and therefore also in scientific communications.</p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Ideally and to facilitate the above step for researchers, there should be a universal model of PI and IC for these descriptive studies that could be supplied (duly adapted by the researcher) to patients prior to sending papers to Conferences or scientific journals. There is already demand in the scientific community for a universal model of IC for the publication of case reports (currently, if a journal uses one model of IC it will not accept the model used by another journal, so that patients have to be asked to sign several models consecutively when one journal rejects a manuscript and it is sent to others, until it is published).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0135"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">27,28</span></a> Although it does not at the present time support a universal model, the COPE, which is currently composed of approximately 10,000 peer reviewed scientific journal editors, does set out a series of recommendations for minimum informed consent. This has to be included in the IC for case reports.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">22</span></a></p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We believe that a standardised model of PI and IC would aid compliance with the guarantee of patient rights when their health data are used in any support (computerised, paper, audio or images), for purposes other than treatment. This would apply to case reports and series of cases. For example, this model would be suitable for the presentation of case reports in a Conference in any format (oral, poster or paper), for publication in a journal that did not demand the use of a specific model, or even in teaching.</p><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Since we presented this proposal in a Conference of family doctors in 2015<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0145"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">29</span></a> we have observed increasing awareness in the healthcare sector, while increasing numbers of journal editors<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0150"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">30</span></a> demand that authors supply the informed consent of patients as an indispensible requisite for the publication of case reports. This attitude contrasts with the current situation in the majority of Scientific Societies in our country, whose Organising and Scientific Conference Committees, in their norms for the acceptance of case reports, either do not mention obtaining informed consent or state that it is a “favourable aspect”, without demanding it. We encourage the editors of all of the scientific journals which do not have their own model of informed consent for case reports and case series to use our standard model. We also encourage Scientific Societies to adopt the proposal, informing their Organising and Scientific Committees for Conferences, Meetings and other events of this priority.</p></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0045">Conclusions</span><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Healthcare professionals have to include patient rights in their research.</p><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The standardised model of PI and IC facilitates the application of the current regulations and Norms of Good Clinical Research Practice: it guarantees compliance with the duty of professionals to protect the privacy of patients when their health data are used for purposes other than treatment.</p><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">As well as supporting patient independence, gaining their IC also protects researchers against any claim by the individual whose health data are used.
