Study Arms (2)

One-Unit

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will be randomized to receive 1-unit of red blood cell transfusions as an outpatient a period of one-year. At each outpatient transfusion episode, the patient will receive a transfusion of 1-unit

Other: Units of transfusion

Two-Unit

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will be randomized to receive 2-unit sof red blood cell transfusions as an outpatient a period of one-year. At each outpatient transfusion episode, the patient will receive a transfusion of 2-units

Other: Units of transfusion

Interventions
