Corticosteroids are a critical component of immunosuppressive regimens following lung transplantation; however, their use is associated with known deleterious effects on bone health. Protocolized preventative therapies and screening may improve bone health in this population. We retrospectively reviewed all adult lung transplant recipients (LTRs) at a single center before and after implementation of a bone health protocol. Fifty-eight LTRs were included; 38 pre-protocol and 20 post-protocol. Significant differences were noted for patients following a bone health protocol including dual x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) completion (16 % vs. 70 %, p = |
