Two authors independently identified trials, extracted data, assessed risk of bias (ROB 2.0 and ROBINS\u2010I) and evidence certainty (GRADE). Primary outcomes were length of stay (LOS), 30\u2010day readmissions, re\u2010operations and complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eighteen studies (one RCT, 17 observational) were included. LOS was significantly lower in the ERAS group (mean difference: \u22121.62\u2009days; 95% CI: \u22122.03, \u22121.21, 15 studies, 4225 patients, moderate certainty). There was no difference in 30\u2010day readmissions (odds ratio, OR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.62, 1.12, 15 studies, 4157 patients, low certainty), 30\u2010day reoperations (OR: 0.68; 95% CI: 0.46, 1.02, 8 studies, 2161 patients, very low certainty), or 30\u2010day complications (OR 0.69; 95% CI: 0.45, 1.08, 14 studies, 4074 patients, low certainty). Evidence certainty was limited by non\u2010blinding, and observational data at serious risk of bias.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>ERAS for patients with IBD reduces LOS with no difference in 30\u2010day readmissions, reoperations and complications.
