This randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of prednisone 2mg/kg/day for 3
days vs. dexamethasone 0.6mg/kg for 1 day for treatment of 200 children with mild or
moderate croup will be conducted in a practice-based research network of community
pediatricians in the St. Louis area. Outcomes include additional health care for croup,
duration of symptoms, nights of disturbed sleep, parental stress, missed work days, and
adverse events.Our hypothesis is that community-based treatment of children with mild or
moderate croup with multiple doses of prednisone is superior to a single dose of
dexamethasone.
