javascript coding - multiple inputs and outputs, and looking up outputs

I am trying to code the following:

there will be six inputs, say 1,2,3,4,5,6

inputs 2-6 have two possible options (say yes and no)

input 1 has seven possible options (say a-g)

depending on which inputs are selected, a specific output will be generated.

So if you had - a, yes, yes, no, no, no - it would generate outcome 'x'

I have managed to create a list with all the possible input combinations (using python):

list = [[23,24,25,26,27,28,29],["male","female"],["true","false"],["true","false"],["true","false"],["true","false"]]

r=[[]]
for e in list:
    table = []
    for item in e:
            for i in r:
                table.append(i+[item])
    r = table

print r

My next stage is to allocate an outcome to each of these options. I guess the best way to do this is just append the output to each list item so that

for e in index, if e[0]-e[5] matches the input then print out e[6]

Is this an ok way to do it?

EDIT

Just to make it clearer I just thought I'd explain what I am actually trying to do. It's a free tool for doctors (I'm a doc - it's not for commercial purposes just to improve patient care).

It is a way of calculating risk for the patient, so there will be five questions the doc will input - e.g. male/female etc and depending on their inputs it will produce the outcome as a % risk for the patient. We are using years of previous patient outcome data to produce the table of outcome.

You can think of input 2-6 as 5 bits (5 boolean values), and input 1 as 3 higher bits (to encode 7 values). Then loop from 0 to 223, and generate all the possible combination by decoding the number as the scheme above.
