MDS-ADL Score (0–28 where higher score is worse score). MDS-HSI Score where 0=dead and 1=perfect health. Reference is hemoglobin ≥13 g/dL. Findings from these adjusted models show only estimates for hemoglobin ranges in this table, and only for those ranges that were retained in the final models after backwards elimination (P<0.25).
