{Abstract}: <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>To develop a consensus guideline to meet nutritional challenges faced by infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).<BR><B>METHODS: </B>The CDH Focus Group utilized a modified Delphi method to develop these clinical consensus guidelines (CCG). Topic leaders drafted recommendations after literature review and group discussion. Each recommendation was sent to focus group members via a REDCap survey tool, and members scored on a Likert scale of 0-100. A score of > 85 with no more than 25% outliers was designated a priori as demonstrating consensus among the group.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>In the first survey 24/25 recommendations received a median score > 90 and after discussion and second round of surveys all 25 recommendations received a median score of 100.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>We present a consensus evidence-based framework for managing parenteral and enteral nutrition, somatic growth, gastroesophageal reflux disease, chylothorax, and long-term follow-up of infants with CDH.
