The authors sought to learn more about surgeons’ perceptions of shared decision-making in settings in which surgical patients have more comorbidities and are of an older age. In this article, they discussed the 6 majors themes that emerged (responsibility for the decision to operate, perceived futility, surgeon judgment, surgeon introspection, pressure to operate, and costs of the operation).
