# McGinnis 2024 VACS-CCI Mortality Score Calculator > McGinnis 2024 VACS-CCI Mortality Score 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). Computes the McGinnis 2024 VACS-CCI Table 2 linear predictor for long-term mortality risk in veterans using lab values, demographics, comorbidities, and Charlson Comorbidity Index groupings ## Facts - Endpoint: GET https://api.magentlab.com/api/calc/vacs_cci - Price: $0.005/call - Payment: x402 - Status: unknown - Last checked: 2026-09-14 - Activations on Zero: 0 - Tags: x402 - Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/mcginnis-2024-vacs-cci-mortality-score-calculator-8219cc98 - Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_8650amKQUdcVe4hHe8qBs 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 mcginnis-2024-vacs-cci-mortality-score-calculator-8219cc98 ``` Example prompt: Calculate the McGinnis 2024 VACS-CCI Table 2 mortality linear predictor for a 62-year-old male with hemoglobin 11.5 g/dL, FIB-4 2.3, eGFR 48 mL/min/1.73m², albumin 3.6 g/dL, WBC 6.2 ×10⁹/L, BMI 27.4 kg/m², hepatitis C positive, and the following Charlson conditions present: diabetes without complications and congestive heart failure. ## When to prefer this Use this endpoint when you need the specific McGinnis 2024 VACS-CCI Table 2 linear predictor that incorporates the Charlson Comorbidity Index age-band interaction alongside VA lab biomarkers (hemoglobin, FIB-4, eGFR, albumin, WBC, BMI) and hepatitis C status. Prefer this over simpler VACO Index endpoints (which use unadjusted CCI and 30-day mortality) when the clinical question concerns long-term (1–10 year) mortality in veterans with comorbid conditions, especially liver disease. Not suitable for acute mortality prediction or pediatric populations. ## Known failure modes - Missing required query parameters return a 400 error - Out-of-range values (e.g., age <18 or >120, BMI <10 or >60, FIB-4 <0.1 or >20) may return validation errors - Invalid enum value for sex field returns a 422 or 400 error - Payment not included or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required response - Boolean comorbidity fields passed as strings instead of true/false may fail schema validation ## How this service works McGinnis 2024 VACS-CCI Table 2 Model 7 linear predictor from sex, age, hemoglobin, FIB-4, eGFR, albumin, WBC, BMI, hepatitis C, and caller-assigned Charlson groupings. CCI group is those weights (0/1/2/3+) times age band. The 0-100 score needs unpublished development min/max Xbeta; magent does not invent it. Paper prints score 30 to 1/3/8/18% and 45 to 6/14/35/61% at 1/2/5/10 years. Not a diagnosis or individual prognosis. magent does not code the chart. ## Output Returns the McGinnis 2024 VACS-CCI Table 2 linear predictor value computed from the caller-supplied inputs. The score corresponds to published mortality probability benchmarks (e.g., score 30 maps to approximately 1/3/8/18% mortality at 1/2/5/10 years; score 45 maps to approximately 6/14/35/61%). The endpoint does not interpolate from unpublished development min/max Xbeta values, does not assign a diagnosis, and does not constitute individual clinical prognosis. ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "input" ], "properties": { "input": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type", "method" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string", "const": "http" }, "method": { "enum": [ "GET", "HEAD", "DELETE" ], "type": "string" }, "headers": { "type": "object", "additionalProperties": { "type": "string" } }, "queryParams": { "type": "object", "required": [ "sex", "age", "hemoglobin_g_dl", "fib4", "egfr_ml_min_1_73m2", "albumin_g_dl", "wbc_10e9_l", "bmi_kg_m2", "hepatitis_c", "myocardial_infarction", "congestive_heart_failure", "peripheral_vascular_disease", "cerebrovascular_disease", "dementia", "chronic_pulmonary_disease", "rheumatic_disease", "peptic_ulcer_disease", "diabetes_without_complications", "diabetes_with_complications", "hemiplegia_or_paraplegia", "kidney_mild_to_moderate", "kidney_severe", "any_malignancy", "metastatic_solid_tumor", "liver_mild", "liver_moderate_to_severe" ], "properties": { "age": { "type": "integer", "description": "Age in years (integer 18-120).
