Boutitie et al analyzed pooled anticoagulation clinic data from 2,925 people with a first deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism in the UK. They found that the recurrence risk after stopping anticoagulation at 3 months was equivalent to stopping at 6 months. Proximal DVTs were more likely to recur than distal DVTs.
