Perceived Value of Transfusion Access and Hospice Services Among Patients With Blood Cancers

In this survey study of patients with blood cancers who were potentially hospice eligible, access to blood transfusions had the highest importance relative to routine hospice services. The high value placed on transfusion access suggests that this factor plays a crucial role in hospice decision-making and argues that innovative hospice models that incorporate access to palliative transfusions may increase hospice use and improve end-of-life care for this patient population.
