Correlating the clinical course of recurrent croup with endoscopic findings: a retrospective observational study.
We sought to correlate endoscopic findings with the clinical course of recurrent croup. ⋯ The underlying narrowing process of recurrent croup can be attributed to gastroesophageal reflux and should be considered in any child with persistent barky cough, inspiratory stridor, and hoarseness. To confirm the diagnosis, diagnostic methods should be correlated with symptom progression after treatment initiation.
