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

## What it computes

Compute the Steyerberg 2008 IMPACT points and 6-month mortality and unfavorable-outcome probabilities from the printed Figure 1 score chart and logistic LPs. model is required (core, extended, or lab).

## When to use

When an agent already has admission age, GCS motor, and pupils (and CT / hypoxia / hypotension / labs when using those models) and needs the published IMPACT probabilities. Not MRC CRASH, not a GCS conversion, and not a diagnosis.

## When not to use

- Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis, triage, ICU, or withdrawal-of-care decision.
- Not MRC CRASH (Perel 2008). magent crash is Extermann 2012 chemotherapy CRASH.
- Age, motor, pupils, hypoxia, hypotension, Marshall CT, tSAH, EDH, glucose, and hemoglobin are caller-assigned. magent does not examine the patient, read the scan, or assay labs.
- Motor 9 is the published untestable/missing token. magent does not infer motor from a narrative.

## Formula

```
IMPACT (Steyerberg 2008 Fig 1): core = age(<=30:0, 31-39:1, 40-49:2, 50-59:3, 60-69:4, >=70:5) + motor(1-2:6, 3:4, 4:2, 5-6:0, 9:3) + pupils(both:0, one:2, none:4); extended = core + hypoxia(yes/suspected:1) + hypotension(yes/suspected:2) + marshall(I:-2, II:0, III-VI:2) + tSAH(yes:2) + EDH(yes:-2); lab = extended + glucose_mmol_l(<6:0, 6-8.9:1, 9-11.9:2, 12-14.9:3, >=15:4) + hb_g_dl(<9:3, 9-11.9:2, 12-14.9:1, >=15:0); p = 1/(1+e^(-LP)); LPcore mort=-2.55+0.275*sum; LPcore unfav=-1.62+0.299*sum; LPext mort=-2.98+0.256*sum; LPext unfav=-2.10+0.276*sum; LPlab mort=-3.42+0.216*sum; LPlab unfav=-2.82+0.257*sum; 6-month percent 1 decimal; not MRC CRASH

## Worked example

### Paper core example: age 35, motor 3, both pupils

Given: `age=35, model=core, motor_score=3, pupillary_reactivity=both`

1. age 35 → 1; motor 3 → 4; pupils both → 0
2. core sum = 5
3. LPmort = -2.55 + 0.275 × 5 = -1.175 → 23.6%
4. LPunfav = -1.62 + 0.299 × 5 = -0.125


### Same patient extended: hypoxia, Marshall V, tSAH, no hypotension or EDH

Given: `age=35, edh=false, hypotension=false, hypoxia=true, marshall_ct=V, model=extended, motor_score=3, pupillary_reactivity=both, tsah=true`

1. core 5 + hypoxia 1 + hypotension 0 + Marshall V 2 + tSAH 2 + EDH 0
2. extended sum = 10


### Same patient lab: glucose 10 mmol/L, Hb 11 g/dL

Given: `age=35, edh=false, glucose_mmol_l=10, hemoglobin_g_dl=11, hypotension=false, hypoxia=true, marshall_ct=V, model=lab, motor_score=3, pupillary_reactivity=both, tsah=true`

1. extended 10 + glucose 10 → 2 + Hb 11 → 2
2. lab sum = 14

## Parameters

- `model` (string, required): Steyerberg 2008 IMPACT model. core uses age, motor, and pupils. extended adds hypoxia, hypotension, Marshall CT, tSAH, and EDH. lab adds glucose mmol/L and hemoglobin g/dL. Required; magent does not pick a model.
- `age` (integer, required): Age in years (integer 14-90). Steyerberg 2008 Figure 1: ≤30 → 0; 31–39 → 1; 40–49 → 2; 50–59 → 3; 60–69 → 4; ≥70 → 5. Chart label 30–39 is the decade after ≤30 (age 30 scores 0).
- `motor_score` (integer, required): GCS motor integer 1-6 or 9 (untestable/missing) as in Steyerberg 2008. 1 or 2 (none/extension) → 6; 3 (abnormal flexion) → 4; 4 (normal flexion) → 2; 5 or 6 (localizes/obeys) → 0; 9 → 3.
- `pupillary_reactivity` (string, required): Pupillary reactivity (Steyerberg 2008). both → 0; one → 2; none → 4. Caller-assigned. magent does not examine pupils.
- `hypoxia` (boolean, optional): Hypoxia yes or suspected (Steyerberg 2008). Required when model is extended or lab. true adds 1; false adds 0. Ignored on model=core.
- `hypotension` (boolean, optional): Hypotension yes or suspected (Steyerberg 2008). Required when model is extended or lab. true adds 2; false adds 0. Ignored on model=core.
- `marshall_ct` (string, optional): Marshall CT class I–VI (Steyerberg 2008). Required when model is extended or lab. I → −2; II → 0; III, IV, V, or VI → 2. Ignored on model=core. magent does not read the scan.
- `tsah` (boolean, optional): Traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (Steyerberg 2008). Required when model is extended or lab. true adds 2; false adds 0. Ignored on model=core.
- `edh` (boolean, optional): Epidural hematoma (Steyerberg 2008). Required when model is extended or lab. true adds −2; false adds 0. Ignored on model=core.
- `glucose_mmol_l` (number, optional): Admission glucose in mmol/L (2.8-55.5). Required when model is lab. Steyerberg 2008: <6 → 0; 6–8.9 → 1; 9–11.9 → 2; 12–14.9 → 3; ≥15 → 4. Ignored on core and extended. magent does not assay glucose.
- `hemoglobin_g_dl` (number, optional): Admission hemoglobin in g/dL (3-22). Required when model is lab. Steyerberg 2008: <9 → 3; 9–11.9 → 2; 12–14.9 → 1; ≥15 → 0. Ignored on core and extended. magent does not assay hemoglobin.

## 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/impact`
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": [
    {
      "age": "35",
      "model": "core",
      "motor_score": "3",
      "pupillary_reactivity": "both"
    },
    {
      "age": "35",
      "model": "core",
      "motor_score": "3",
      "pupillary_reactivity": "both"
    }
  ]

## 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.
