In this commentary, I review the insights that have been gained using Rothman's sufficient cause model (Am J Epidemiol. 1976;104(6):587-592). Discussion pertains to the relations of the model to similar conceptualizations in other fields of study, the advances and extensions that have been made to the model since the paper's publication, and its relation to questions of actual causation, along with questions concerning the use of the model in the future of epidemiology.
在这篇评论中，我回顾了运用罗斯曼充分病因模型所获得的见解（《美国流行病学杂志》。1976年；104(6):587 - 592）。讨论内容涉及该模型与其他研究领域类似概念化的关系、自该论文发表以来对该模型的推进和扩展、其与实际因果关系问题的关联，以及关于该模型在流行病学未来应用的问题。
