utilising verbal consent should be described in the submission as being conducted with an IRB approved waiver of written consent.Case reports usually do not require IRB approval because they are not systematic investigations.However, we occasionally receive case reports describing the administration of experimental drugs or the utilisation of experimental devices involving one or more patients.We consider these case reports to be research, as the intent of the author is to create generalisable knowledge, even though the research barely qualifies as systematic.As a result, IRB approval is required for case reports involving experimental drugs or devices.
