Haemoglobin outcomes, including haemoglobin levels in g/dL, change in haemoglobin levels over time (in g/dL and %), number and proportion of patients with haematopoietic response, number and proportion of patients reaching target haemoglobin levels.
Time frame: every month for 24 months
Number and proportion of participants with thrombovascular events, hospitalization,and mortality as measures of safety.
