创伤后头痛（PTH）是继发于创伤事件的常见致残性症状。众所周知，攻击与包括PTH在内的广泛的身体症状有关。在这项工作中，希尔标准提供的一般因果关系的方法被描述为一个评估工具，具体的因果关系与PTH和性侵犯。时间依赖性模型的概率，反过来，相对风险被描述为定量算法，用于解决归纳和溯因结论的因果关系在法医学。
Post-traumatic headache (PTH) is a common and disabling symptom secondary to the traumatic event. It is known that assault is associated with a wide range of physical symptoms including PTH. In this work, the general causation approach provided by the Hill criteria is described as an assessment tool for specific causation with regards to PTH and sexual assault. Time-dependent models of probability and, in-turn, relative risk are described as quantitative algorithms for addressing inductive and abductive conclusions of causation in forensic science.
