The questions for the alternative procedure had a gauge duration of 2 years in two different imperfect health states.
The Wilcoxon signed ranks test gave similar results, except that the difference for the gauge duration of 46 years became significant as well.
Also, the fact that for the gauge duration of 3 years, we found a violation of procedural invariance in the direction predicted by loss aversion indicates differently.
The questions for the conventional procedure all had a gauge duration of 10 years, but in different health states, which were described in terms of the five EuroQol dimensions.

They used fixed gauge durations for all questions, but they did adjust for discounting by means of a discounting elicitation method [ 22].
Finally, the QALY model without discounting implies the presence of CPTO, i.e., the ratio n γ / n β is constant and independent of the gauge duration.
Table 1 further clarifies these procedures by presenting the stimuli, an imaginary subject would face for a particular choice pattern in case of the gauge duration n β = 10 years.
We find no violations of procedural invariance except for the shortest gauge duration.
Hence, this value was subsequently used as the gauge duration in the alternative procedure.

Those studies also reported a positive correlation between gauge duration and TTO scores for the alternative procedure.
