Abstract
As discrepancies in health state preferences existed between subgroups (ie, doctors vs nurses, mothers vs fathers) and perceived operative mortality consistently biased parental and HCW health state preferences, we recommend that HCWs should first identify differences regarding patient management before interviewing the parents together. HCWs should be aware of inadvertently biasing parents when discussing the risks and outcomes of surgery in conjunction with the overall long-term prognosis of the underlying condition.
