    AbstractAbdominal aortic aneurysm has a population prevalence of 2-5% and mortality in case of rupture of 80%.

Low back pain is one of the most frequent reasons for consultions in Services Emergency Hospital Emergency and Primary Care Services, with an estimated 80% of population having spinal pain at some point in their lives, with 90% of them having a benign course.Copyright © 2012 Sociedad Española de Médicos de Atención Primaria (SEMERGEN).
