Prior studies demonstrate that older adults tend to undergo less surgery for thyroid cancer. Our objective was to utilize a discrete choice experiment to identify factors influencing surgical decision-making for older adults with thyroid cancer. Active and candidate members of the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons were invited to participate in a web-based survey. Multinomial logistic regression (MNL) was utilized to assess patient and surgeon factors associated with treatment choices. Complete survey response rate was 25.7%. Most respondents were high volume surgeons (88.5%) at academic centers (76.9%). MNL demonstrated that patient age was the strongest predictor of management. Increasing age and comorbidities were associated with the choice for active surveillance (P=0.000), not performing a lymphadenectomy in patients with nodal metastases (RRR:2.5,95%CI:1.4–4.2,P=0.002 and RRR:1.6,95%CI:1.2–2.1,P=0.004, respectively) and recommending hemithyroidectomy versus total thyroidectomy for a cancer>4cm (RRR:4.4, 95%CI:2.5–7.9,P=0.000 and RRR:3.4,95%CI:2.3–5.1,P=0.000, respectively). Surgeons with≥10 years of experience (RRR:3.3,95%CI:1.1–10.3,P=0.039) favored total thyroidectomy for a cancer<4cm, and non-fellowship trained surgeons (RRR:7.3,95%CI:1.3–42.2,P=0.027) opted for thyroidectomy without lymphadenectomy for lateral neck nodal metastases. This study highlights the variation in surgical management of older adults with thyroid cancer and demonstrates the influence of patient age, comorbidities, surgeon experience, and fellowship training on management of this population. This study highlights the variation in treatment patterns among high volume endocrine surgeons for older adults with thyroid cancer, and demonstrates the impact of patient age, comorbidities, and surgeon characteristics on surgical decision-making by utilizing the discrete choice experiment methodology. The understanding of factors that affect treatment decisions is important for the development of risk indices and guidelines specific to the management of older adults with thyroid cancer in order to standardize consistent treatment.
