What is the maximum certification period for a patient who has experienced a DVT but is currently stable?

The maximum certification period for a patient who has experienced a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) but is currently stable is one year. This is based on the understanding that while the patient has a history of DVT, their current stable condition allows for a longer period of certification compared to more acute or recently developed conditions. The one-year certification reflects a balance between monitoring the condition and recognizing that if the patient is stable, the risk of recurrence may be lower. However, it is essential to ensure that proper follow-up assessments, including evaluating the patient's response to treatment and any ongoing risk factors, are periodically conducted during that year to ensure the patient's stability is maintained.
