Peri-Transfusion QOL Assessment
* Participants will be given a study packet containing a paper copy of the QUALMS * Study participants will fill out the survey on the day before their first/next pRBC transfusion. * Study participants will receive a second paper copy of the QUALMS, along with a stamped envelope addressed to the appropriate site * The second assessment will be scored and compared with the first, and both the patient and provider will be sent a report with the results Peri-Transfusion QOL Assessment: Participants will undergo a peri-transfusion quality of life assessment (PTQA) using the Quality of Life in Myelodysplasia Scale (QUALMS)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Two months

Population: Data not collected.

Assessed via medical record review at two months post index transfusion. We identified historical matches for 25 patients (21 from Dana-Farber, 1 from Wake Forest, and 3 from Yale) and compared the median number of red cell units in these patients to the PTQA group over 2 months.

Timeframe: Two months

Population: Patients who underwent PTQA, were alive and were willing to complete the 2-month follow-up survey.

Percentage of patients reporting that PTQA impacted their treatment decisions. Assessed by a binary (yes/no) on the follow-up survey at 2-months after index transfusion.
