# Goldstein 2005 Pediatric SIRS / Sepsis Calculator

> Goldstein 2005 Pediatric SIRS / Sepsis Calculator is a paid API for AI agents from api.magentlab.com, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Evaluates pediatric SIRS criteria per Goldstein 2005 and classifies SIRS, sepsis, severe sepsis, or septic shock based on age-group vital signs, WBC, temperature, and caller-assigned organ dysfunction flags.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability goldstein-2005-pediatric-sirs-sepsis-calculator-bc554ec8
```

Example prompt: Using the Goldstein 2005 pediatric SIRS calculator, evaluate an infant (1 month to 1 year) with a temperature of 39.1°C, heart rate of 185 bpm, respiratory rate of 36 breaths/min, WBC of 18 k/µL, suspected infection present, and no organ dysfunction flags set.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need Goldstein 2005 Table 3 pediatric SIRS criteria specifically — not Bone 1992 adult SIRS and not the Phoenix 2024 Sepsis-3 pediatric definition. Choose it when the clinical context requires age-stratified vital-sign thresholds for newborn through adolescent patients and the caller can supply organ-dysfunction flags independently. Not appropriate for adult patients or when a medical device or diagnostic output is required.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (age_group, temperature_c, heart_rate_bpm, respiratory_rate, organ dysfunction flags) returns a validation error
- Neither wbc_k_ul nor wbc_ul provided results in leukocyte criterion being unevaluable
- Age group string not matching one of the six exact enum values causes a parameter error
- Values outside accepted physiological ranges (e.g. WBC out of 0.01–500 k/µL) may be rejected
- Endpoint does not map chronological age to age_group automatically — caller must supply correct group

## How this service works

Goldstein 2005 pediatric SIRS from age-group HR, RR, WBC, and core temperature. Present when ≥2 of 4 Table 3 criteria include abnormal temperature (>38.5 or <36 C) or leukocyte. Sepsis is SIRS plus suspected infection; severe sepsis and septic shock use caller-assigned organ-dysfunction flags. magent does not measure vitals or assay WBC. Not Bone 1992 adult SIRS and not Phoenix 2024. Not a medical device and not a diagnosis or sepsis order.

## Output

Returns whether SIRS criteria are met (true/false), the count of criteria satisfied, which individual criteria (temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, leukocyte) are met, and the sepsis classification level (none, SIRS, sepsis, severe sepsis, or septic shock) based on the caller-supplied infection and organ dysfunction flags.
