Newborn five-sign score and repeat schedule: reassuring band edge · case 01

A total of 7 is reported as moderate.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 10 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The reassuring band excludes its lower edge.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Treat totals 7-10 as reassuring.

Unsuccessful approach: Adding a heart-rate condition makes the category depend on one sign instead of the total.

Case contract

Input {hr, resp (absent|weak|good), tone (limp|some|active), reflex (none|grimace|cry), color (blue|acro|pink), minute}. Heart rate: 0 scores 0, 1-99 scores 1, >= 100 scores 2; the other signs score 0/1/2 in the listed order. Category: 7-10 REASSURING, 4-6 MODERATE, 0-3 LOW. repeat_at is 5 after any 1-minute score; after later scores it is minute + 5 when the total is below 7 and minute < 20, else null. Return {score, category, repeat_at}.

Why this case matters

Newborn scoring sums ordinal signs and schedules reassessment; the absent-heart-rate rule, bands and repeat stop condition are distinct.

Verification & scope

A deterministic toy software model with explicitly stipulated thresholds and formulas; it is not clinical guidance, not a validated medical calculator, and makes no claim of conformance to any published protocol. Numbered variants vary patient and order inputs. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
