Table 1.

Stratification of questionnaire respondents based on their self-reported DIPSS Risk and their clinical status.

Clinical Status	Self-reported DIPSS Risk level
	Low (60)	Intermediate (69)	High (22)
No anemic	60% (36)	37% (26)	14% (3)
Anemic, without need for transfusion	38% (23)	41% (28)	36% (8)
Anemic, need for transfusion	2% (1)	22% (15)	50% (11)

Out of the 151 MF total patients who answered the three questions (their DIPSS risk, whether they suffer anemia and if they received at least one transfusion in the past year) with a conclusive answer and didn’t answer “I don't know/I don't want to answer” to either question, which were excluded.
