ABSTRACT
Recurrent croup is a common clinical entity afflicting the pediatric population, but is not well-characterized in the literature. We describe the largest series of recurrent croup in North America from a single tertiary care academic center, and differentiate subpopulations based on demographic characteristics and clinical presentation. We identified 114 patients for inclusion. Common symptoms included barky cough (86.0%) and inspiratory stridor (60.5%). Many (26.3%) experienced full symptom resolution within a day, and 41.2% reported onset of symptoms at any time of the day. Male patients had a higher number of prior croup episodes at presentation compared with female patients (mean of 9.8 ± 8.0 in males vs 6.6 ± 4.8 in females, P = .03). On multivariate regression, racial/ethnic minority patients were at higher risk for dyspnea (odds ratio [OR] 58.6; 95% confidence interval [CI] 7.2-475.4) and upper respiratory infection prodrome (OR 7.6; 95% CI 1.6-35.3) compared with non-Hispanic white patients.
