[Are abdominal aortic aneurysm screening guidelines followed? Prospective study in Dunkerque's hospital emergency room].

Aim Of The Study: Are the recommendations issued by the Haute Autorité de santé in 2012 on screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) being applied?

Method: We interviewed the target patients, ex. male patients aged 65 to 75, smokers or former smokers, or as young as 50 in the event of a family history of AAA in the parents or siblings, entering the emergency room of Dunkerque between May 7 and December 31, 2015. We asked them if they had had an abdominal aortic ultrasound, or an abdominal ultrasound, or an arterial Doppler ultrasound of the lower limbs, and when, to see if they had had an AAA test since November 2012.
