The pediatric LTX program at Stollery Children's Hospital introduced a CS\u2010free LTX regimen in 2003. This retrospective study investigated whether the implementation of a CS\u2010free protocol resulted in improvements in BMD (dual x\u2010ray absorptiometry) and growth following LTX. <jats:italic>Methods:<\/jats:italic> A retrospective chart review of all children undergoing LTX was conducted. The parameters included repeated measures of anthropometric (weight, weight <jats:italic>z<\/jats:italic> score, height, height <jats:italic>z<\/jats:italic> score), BMD\/bone mineral content (BMC), laboratory variables, graft function (number\/severity of rejection), and CS therapy (dose, duration). <jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic> A total of 39 patients met study inclusion (20 male; n = 28 on CS; n = 11 CS\u2010free). Mean duration of follow\u2010up was 5.5 \u00b1 3.3 years. The mean weight and height <jats:italic>z<\/jats:italic> scores were \u22120.31 \u00b1 0.14 (CS) and 0.22 \u00b1 0.23 (CS\u2010free; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .09) and \u22120.71 \u00b1 0.13 (CS) and 0.23 \u00b1 0.22 (CS\u2010free; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .002), respectively. Lumbar and whole\u2010body BMD <jats:italic>z<\/jats:italic> score less than \u22122 were present in 15% and 8% of the cohort, respectively. There were no significant differences between CS and CS\u2010free in lumbar BMC (22.2 \u00b1 1.4 and 23.4 \u00b1 2.02 g; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .165) and lumbar BMD (0.57 \u00b1 0.02 and 0.80 \u00b1 0.22 g\/cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .152), respectively. Lumbar BMC (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 0.89, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .05) and whole\u2010body BMC (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 0.93, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .05) were inversely related to CS dose &gt;0.2 mg\/kg\/d and positively related to bone age (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .01). <jats:italic>Conclusion:<\/jats:italic> CS therapy in children post\u2010LTX is associated with reduced BMC and delayed linear growth. Understanding the clinical and nutrition factors influencing bone health is important to optimizing growth and bone health in children
