Overview
Classification of Croup
Croup is classified by severity of symptoms through the Westley score of assessing croup severity, demonstrated in the table below:[1]
| Feature | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest wall retraction | None | Mild | Moderate | Severe | ||
| Stridor | None | With agitation | At rest | |||
| Cyanosis | None | With agitation | At rest | |||
| Level of consciousness | Normal | Disoriented | ||||
| Air entry | Normal | Decreased | Markedly decreased | Markedly decreased | Markedly decreased | Markedly decreased |
The score is aggregated into a qualitative croup classification:
| Classification | {{fontcolor|#FFF|Score} | Features | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classification | Mild | Moderate | Severe | Respiratory failure |
| Score | ≤2 | 3-5 | 6-11 | ≥12 |
| Features | Characteristic barking cough and hoarseness | Cough, hoarseness, and stridor | Cough, hoarseness, stridor, and visible chest indrawing | Failure of respiratory system |
