Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis, dose, or listing recommendation.

## What it computes

Apply the Fonarow 2005 ADHERE classification and regression tree for in-hospital mortality risk in acutely decompensated heart failure from admission BUN, systolic blood pressure, and serum creatinine.

## When to use

When an agent has caller-supplied admission BUN, systolic BP, and creatinine and needs the published ADHERE CART terminal group, not the paper's logistic regression, not GWTG-HF, and not a treatment or ICU order.

## When not to use

- Not a medical device. magent does not examine the patient and does not measure BUN, blood pressure, or creatinine.
- Not a heart-failure diagnosis or treatment/ICU order. This is the Fonarow 2005 CART bedside tree only, not the paper's logistic regression.
- This is not GWTG-HF.

## Formula

```
high: bun_mg_dl >= 43 AND systolic_bp_mm_hg < 115 AND creatinine_mg_dl >= 2.75; intermediate_1: bun_mg_dl >= 43 AND systolic_bp_mm_hg < 115 AND creatinine_mg_dl < 2.75; intermediate_2: bun_mg_dl >= 43 AND systolic_bp_mm_hg >= 115; intermediate_3: bun_mg_dl < 43 AND systolic_bp_mm_hg < 115; low: bun_mg_dl < 43 AND systolic_bp_mm_hg >= 115 (Fonarow 2005 CART)
```

## Worked example

### BUN 20 mg/dL, SBP 140 mm Hg, creatinine 1.0 mg/dL

Given: `bun_mg_dl=20, creatinine_mg_dl=1.0, systolic_bp_mm_hg=140`

1. BUN 20 mg/dL is < 43 and SBP 140 mm Hg is >= 115
2. Creatinine is not consulted
3. low


### BUN 50 mg/dL, SBP 100 mm Hg, creatinine 3.0 mg/dL

Given: `bun_mg_dl=50, creatinine_mg_dl=3.0, systolic_bp_mm_hg=100`

1. BUN 50 mg/dL is >= 43, SBP 100 mm Hg is < 115, and creatinine 3.0 mg/dL is >= 2.75
2. high

## Parameters

- `bun_mg_dl` (number, required): Admission blood urea nitrogen in mg/dL (1-200). Fonarow 2005 CART first split is BUN >= 43. magent does not measure BUN.
- `systolic_bp_mm_hg` (integer, required): Admission systolic blood pressure in mm Hg (integer 50-250). Fonarow 2005 CART second split is SBP < 115. magent does not measure blood pressure.
- `creatinine_mg_dl` (number, optional): Admission serum creatinine in mg/dL (0.1-20). Provide this or creatinine_umol_l, not both. Fonarow 2005 CART consults creatinine only when BUN >= 43 and SBP < 115; the split is creatinine >= 2.75. magent does not measure creatinine.
- `creatinine_umol_l` (number, optional): Admission serum creatinine in µmol/L (9-1768). Converted as mg/dL = µmol/L / 88.42. Provide this or creatinine_mg_dl, not both.

## Bulk (POST)

POST the same path with a JSON items array. The first item is the GET unit; each additional item is $0.002. Invalid items return HTTP 400 before settlement.

Method: `POST /api/calc/adhere`
Max items: 25
Price: unit_amount + extra_item_amount * (n - 1) (unit 5000 atomic, extra 2000 atomic)
Status: PREVIEW

- 1 to 25 items. Each item uses the same keys as the GET query parameters.
- POST of 1 item costs the same as GET. Lists longer than 25: chunk into multiple POSTs. Extra items still execute; do not pad dummy rows.
- The first invalid item fails the whole request (index in the 400 JSON). You are not charged.
- HTTP 200 is {count, path, items}. Each items[i] is the GET 200 body for that row.
- Catalog misses (empty matches, found=false) stay paid 200s inside that slot.
- x402 resource URL is this path plus n and body_sha256. Browsers that prefer text/html get the same paywall as GET; Pay retries POST with the same items.

Example request:

```json
{
  "items": [
    {
      "bun_mg_dl": "20",
      "creatinine_mg_dl": "1.0",
      "systolic_bp_mm_hg": "140"
    },
    {
      "bun_mg_dl": "20",
      "creatinine_mg_dl": "1.0",
      "systolic_bp_mm_hg": "140"
    }

## Payment

Unpaid requests return HTTP 402 even if query parameters or POST items are missing or invalid, so CDP and agents can index the path. After a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE, invalid params return HTTP 400 JSON before settlement. magent does not charge. Fix the params, then request a new 402 quote for that complete URL. Catalog misses (empty matches, found=false) are valid paid 200s.

- GET the tool with Accept: application/json (do not send Accept: text/html unless you want the human paywall).
- HTTP 402 means you have not paid. Decode the base64 PAYMENT-REQUIRED header. HTTP 503 is not a new quote.
- Sign accepts[0] (exact, EIP-3009) with validBefore = now + maxTimeoutSeconds (600 seconds), or accepts[1] (batch-settlement deposit/voucher) on product GET. Ping and POST {items} stay exact. Magent retries transient facilitator 429/5xx before answering.
- Retry the same URL with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE (base64 JSON of accepted and payload). Magent attaches canonical extensions.bazaar on CDP verify/settle; echoing 402 bazaar is optional.
- Success is HTTP 200 JSON plus PAYMENT-RESPONSE. exact settles before the tool. batch-settlement verifies (and deposit-settles) before the tool and commits the charge after HTTP 2xx. HTTP 503: retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Mint a new exact nonce only after a new HTTP 402.

- offered `exact` on eip155:8453: Fixed-price USDC on Base. The buyer authorizes the advertised amount (EIP-3009). magent settles before the tool runs (paymentFlow upfront). extra.assetTransferMethod=eip3009 extra.paymentFlow=upfront.
- offered `batch-settlement` on eip155:8453: Payment-channel vouchers claimed later in batches. Exact stays accepts[0]. Same-path POST {items} is still exact. extra.assetTransferMethod=eip3009 extra.paymentFlow=authorization.

- not offered `upto`: Not offered. Usage-based: buyer authorizes a ceiling, seller settles the actual amount after work. Reserved for a future metered tool. Not for current calculators or code search.

Same-path POST {items} is still scheme exact: one EIP-3009 authorization for GET unit plus $0.002 per extra item. That is not x402 batch-settlement (payment channels / vouchers).

## Guarantees

- HTTP 402 is unpaid, including a missing query. After PAYMENT-SIGNATURE, invalid parameters return HTTP 400 before settlement. You are not charged.
- exact: settlement finishes before the tool (paymentFlow upfront). batch-settlement: verify/deposit before the tool; chargedCumulativeAmount commits after HTTP 2xx. Uncertain or failed settlement fails closed (HTTP 503). Retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.
- HTTP 402 is unpaid only. Do not sign a second authorization because of a 503.
- Execution is timeout-bounded and concurrency-capped.
- Calculator inputs are stored encrypted for allowlisted operators (Magent Console). They are not in public logs, SSH lookups, catalog, or rollups. Request logs store path without query.
