Objective  To systematically review the efficacy of preoperative administration of oral carbohydrates in patients undergoing elective hip replacement surgery. Methods  PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, WanFang Data and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about preoperative oral carbohydrate treatment in patients undergoing elective hip arthroplasty from inception to January, 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. Results  A total of 10 RCTs were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: compared with the placebo group, the preoperative oral carbohydrate group had no significant differences in postoperative insulin resistance (SMD=5.14, 95%CI –1.05 to 11.33, P=0.10), length of hospital stay (MD=–0.26, 95%CI –1.11 to 0.58, P=0.54), rate of complications (OR=1.46, 95%CI 0.53 to 4.07, P=0.47), postoperative glucose and insulin level. Conclusion  Current evidence shows that preoperative oral carbohydrate can not mediate postoperative insulin resistance. It also does not reduce length of hospital stay, postoperative glucose and insulin level. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify above conclusion.
