What it computes
Apply the Righini 2014 ADJUST-PE age-adjusted D-dimer cutoff and return whether PE is excluded at the published FEU threshold.
When to use
When an agent has caller-assigned age and a D-dimer in ng/mL FEU and needs the published PE-excluded or CTPA-indicated result.
When not to use
- Not a diagnosis of pulmonary embolism or VTE. Age-adjusted D-dimer is a rule-out cutoff, not a PE confirmation.
- Not the YEARS algorithm and not the Wells PE score. Do not substitute those tools.
- D-dimer is ng/mL fibrinogen-equivalent units (FEU) only, not DDU. magent does not convert units.
- PE/VTE is excluded only when D-dimer is strictly below the age-adjusted cutoff: 500 ng/mL FEU when age < 50, or age × 10 when age ≥ 50. Equality is not excluded.
- The caller assigns age and D-dimer. magent does not examine the patient.
Formula
PE excluded iff d_dimer_ng_ml < (500 if age < 50 else age * 10); D-dimer is ng/mL FEU; equality is not excluded

Worked example
Age 40, D-dimer 499 ng/mL FEU
Given:
age=40d_dimer_ng_ml=499
- Age 40 < 50 → threshold is 500 ng/mL FEU
- 499 < 500 → PE excluded; CTPA not indicated
Age 40, D-dimer equal to 500 is not excluded
Given:
age=40d_dimer_ng_ml=500
- Age 40 < 50 so the threshold is 500
- 500 is not < 500 → PE not excluded; CTPA indicated

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
age |
integer | required | Age in years (18-120). Cutoff is 500 ng/mL FEU when age < 50; age × 10 when age ≥ 50 (age 50 → 500). |
d_dimer_ng_ml |
number | required | D-dimer in ng/mL fibrinogen-equivalent units (FEU) as in Righini 2014 (0-20000). PE excluded only when strictly below the age-adjusted cutoff. Equality is not excluded. DDU and other units are not this tool. |
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.
- 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.

- YEARS algorithm — Apply the van der Hulle 2017 YEARS algorithm: count three caller-assigned items and return whether PE is excluded at the published D-dimer threshold.

Payment
Required query parameters must be present and valid. 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. Unpaid valid requests return HTTP 402 with a base64
PAYMENT-REQUIRED
header. HTTP 503 is not a new quote: retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Full handshake

Guarantees
- Invalid query parameters return HTTP 400 before settlement. You are not charged.
- Settlement finishes before the tool executes (paymentFlow upfront). 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.
