MASCC risk index (Klastersky)
MASCC

Not a medical device. Not a diagnosis, dose, or listing recommendation.
What it computes
Sum the Klastersky 2000 MASCC risk-index weights for febrile neutropenia and return low-risk (≥21) or high-risk (<21).
When to use
When an agent needs the published MASCC point total and must not invent an outpatient-chemotherapy or admission decision.
When not to use
- Not a medical device and not an outpatient-chemotherapy, admission, or discharge order. magent does not examine the patient.
- Burden of illness is one caller-assigned value (none_or_mild, moderate, or severe), not cumulative. magent does not grade symptoms from a chart narrative.
- no_hypotension is the published SBP >90 mm Hg criterion as assigned by the caller. magent does not read a blood pressure.
- solid_tumor_or_no_prior_fungal is one item: solid tumor or hematologic malignancy without previous fungal infection (Klastersky 2000). magent does not classify tumor type from histology text.
- Low-risk is score ≥21 (max 26). High-risk is score <21. This is the published index only.
Formula
MASCC = burden (none_or_mild 5, moderate 3, severe 0; one value) + no_hypotension 5 + no_copd 4 + solid_tumor_or_no_prior_fungal 4 + outpatient 3 + no_dehydration 3 + age_lt_60 2; Klastersky 2000; max 26; low-risk ≥21

Worked example
Maximum score, low-risk
Given:
age_lt_60=trueburden=none_or_mildno_copd=trueno_dehydration=trueno_hypotension=trueoutpatient=truesolid_tumor_or_no_prior_fungal=true
- Burden none_or_mild → 5
- no_hypotension → 5; no_copd → 4; solid_tumor_or_no_prior_fungal → 4; outpatient → 3; no_dehydration → 3; age_lt_60 → 2
- Score = 26 (max 26); mascc_band = low_risk (≥21)
Severe burden, no protective flags
Given:
age_lt_60=falseburden=severeno_copd=falseno_dehydration=falseno_hypotension=falseoutpatient=falsesolid_tumor_or_no_prior_fungal=false
- Burden severe → 0; all six flags false → 0
- Score = 0 (max 26); mascc_band = high_risk (<21)

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
burden |
string | required · none_or_mild, moderate, severe | Caller-assigned burden of illness (none_or_mild, moderate, or severe). Klastersky 2000: none_or_mild → 5, moderate → 3, severe → 0. One value, not cumulative. |
no_hypotension |
boolean | required | No hypotension (SBP >90 mm Hg) as assigned by the caller (Klastersky 2000). true scores 5. magent does not read a blood pressure. |
no_copd |
boolean | required | No COPD as assigned by the caller (Klastersky 2000). true scores 4. |
solid_tumor_or_no_prior_fungal |
boolean | required | Solid tumor, or hematologic malignancy without previous fungal infection, as assigned by the caller (Klastersky 2000). One item. true scores 4. |
outpatient |
boolean | required | Outpatient status at fever onset as assigned by the caller (Klastersky 2000). true scores 3. |
no_dehydration |
boolean | required | No dehydration requiring parenteral fluids as assigned by the caller (Klastersky 2000). true scores 3. |
age_lt_60 |
boolean | required | Age <60 years as assigned by the caller (Klastersky 2000). true scores 2. magent does not parse a numeric age here. |
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.

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. 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
- 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.
