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:[1]
| Classification | Score | Features |
|---|---|---|
| Mild | ≤2 | Characteristic barking cough and hoarseness |
| Moderate | 3-5 | Cough, hoarseness, and stridor |
| Severe | 6-11 | Cough, hoarseness, stridor, and visible chest indrawing |
| Respiratory Failure | ≥12 | Failure of respiratory system |
