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

## What it computes

Compute the Prevoo 1995 28-joint DAS with ESR from caller-assigned tender and swollen 28-joint counts, ESR in mm/h, and patient general health on a 0-100 mm VAS. Returns the published score only.

## When to use

When an agent already has 28-joint tender and swollen counts, ESR in mm/h, and a 0-100 mm patient global and needs the Prevoo 1995 DAS28-ESR arithmetic, not SDAI, not CDAI, not DAS28-CRP, and not later EULAR 2.6/3.2/5.1 cutoffs.

## When not to use

- Not a medical device and not a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis or a treatment order.
- magent does not count joints or assay ESR. tjc28, sjc28, esr_mm_h, and gh are caller-assigned. GH is millimetres on a 0-100 VAS, not 0-10 cm CDAI/SDAI.
- Prevoo 1995 publishes this 28-joint DAS and discriminates high vs low activity by rheumatologist decision. It does not publish the later EULAR 2.6 / 3.2 / 5.1 cutoffs. magent returns the score only.
- Not SDAI. Not CDAI. Not DAS28-CRP.

## Formula

```
DAS28-ESR = 0.56*sqrt(tjc28) + 0.28*sqrt(sjc28) + 0.70*ln(esr_mm_h) + 0.014*gh; Prevoo 1995; TJC28 and SJC28 integers 0-28; ESR mm/h strictly >0 (typical 1-150, natural log); GH 0-100 mm VAS (not 0-10 CDAI/SDAI); magent does not count joints or assay ESR; no EULAR 2.6/3.2/5.1 cutoffs
```

## Worked example

### Zero joints, ESR 10 mm/h, GH 0

Given: `esr_mm_h=10, gh=0, sjc28=0, tjc28=0`

1. sqrt(tjc28) and sqrt(sjc28) are 0; 0.014*gh is 0
2. score = 0.70*ln(10) = 1.6118


### GH 50 mm with ESR 1 mm/h isolates the 0-100 VAS term

Given: `esr_mm_h=1, gh=50, sjc28=0, tjc28=0`

1. ln(1) = 0; joint sqrt terms are 0
2. score = 0.014*50 = 0.7 (GH is 0-100 mm, not 0-10 cm)

## Parameters

- `tjc28` (integer, required): Caller-assigned tender joint count on the 28-joint set (Prevoo 1995). Integer 0-28. magent does not count joints.
- `sjc28` (integer, required): Caller-assigned swollen joint count on the 28-joint set (Prevoo 1995). Integer 0-28. magent does not count joints.
- `esr_mm_h` (number, required): Caller-assigned erythrocyte sedimentation rate in mm/h. Strictly >0 (typical 1-150 magent clamp). Natural log in the formula. magent does not assay ESR.
- `gh` (number, required): Caller-assigned patient general health on a 0-100 mm VAS (Prevoo 1995). Number 0-100. Not 0-10 CDAI/SDAI centimetres. magent does not examine the patient.

## 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/das28_esr`
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": [
    {
      "esr_mm_h": "10",
      "gh": "0",
      "sjc28": "0",
      "tjc28": "0"
    },
    {
      "esr_mm_h": "10",
      "gh": "0",
      "sjc28": "0",

- HTTP 400 `invalid_item_count`: items must be an array of 1 to 25 objects Returned before settlement; you are not charged.
- HTTP 400 `invalid_item`: each items entry must be a JSON object Returned before settlement; you are not charged.

Not a diagnosis.

## 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. HTTP 402 never includes the tool JSON.
- 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.
