About Maupassant:

"Mot slutet av sitt korta liv, då han var utbränd av både droger och syfilis, skrev han den suggestiva novellen 'Horla' (1887, Le Horla) som vetter mot en symbolisk läsning, om man inte vill se den som en SJUKHUSJOURNAL över jagets gradvisa och accelererande sönderfall."

Note the following:

"1891 förvärras Guy de Maupassants hälsotillstånd till följd av syfilis, han togs in på hospital efter ett misslyckat självmordsförsök på nyårsaftonen 1892. Han dog 1893 strax före sin 43:e födelsedag."

I opt for it, too, as Medical record is broader, and case record concerns just the case of his malady

Patient chart


Explanation:
Hospital records and hospital reports are too general. At least in the US, a file on a given patient during a hospital stay is generally a patient chart.
