Analysis reveals challenges in discounting models for observed choices, suggesting the need for more precise interpretations.

The discounting parameters measured in other studies may be driven by other phenomena, including departures from the QALY model. Hence, careful interpretation of estimated parameters is warranted, and future studies are recommended.
