At my cancer centre they transfuse transfusion dependent people if they are below 100. For people who are anaemic as a result of chemo or other treatments they use a lower number depending on how well they cope symptomatically.
The thinking is that chronic low Hb can cause heart problems so they try to keep the baseline pretty high. It also improves your quality of life.
