The term 'causal findings' is primarily used in academic, scientific, legal, and investigative contexts in both American and Brazilian English/Portuguese. In Brazil, it appears frequently in medical research, legal proceedings, and accident investigations. The concept reflects a preference in formal discourse for establishing definitive cause-and-effect relationships rather than mere correlations, which is critical in legal liability cases and scientific validation.
