The California Postmortem Program studies disease surveillance, discovers new causes of death, and develops new diagnostic methods for disease detection. It also informs directions for research focused on elucidating the etiopathogenesis of, and risk factors for, catastrophic fractures and other causes of death. Because most fatal injuries seem to be the acute culmination of a more chronic process, intervention and prevention of injuries is possible with enhanced knowledge of the etiopathogenesis of injuries and risk factors for injuries. These advances also would facilitate development of management strategies for injury prevention.
加利福尼亚验尸项目研究疾病监测，发现新的死亡原因，并开发用于疾病检测的新诊断方法。它还为专注于阐明灾难性骨折及其他死亡原因的病因发病机制和风险因素的研究指明方向。由于大多数致命伤害似乎是一个更慢性过程的急性 culmination，通过增强对伤害的病因发病机制和风险因素的了解，有可能对伤害进行干预和预防。这些进展也将促进伤害预防管理策略的制定。 （注：“culmination”此处可能需要结合上下文进一步准确理解其含义来更精准翻译，比如“最终结果”等 ）
