Key Words	Glutamine; Severe acute pancreatitis; Meta-analysis
Core Tip	Glutamine dipeptide was given to patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in order to improve their nitrogen balance and immunonutrition. This meta-analysis aims to enhance our understanding of the clinical and economical validity of glutamine dipeptide for patients with SAP. We report the meta-analysis of four randomized controlled trials involving a total of 190 participants. Results showed that glutamine dipeptide has a positive effect in reducing the mortality rate, length of hospital stay, and the rate of complications. No serious adverse effects were found.
