This study included adult inpatients who underwent ID consultations between October 2016 and March 2018. The demographic data, clinical manifestations, and final non-ID diagnoses of cases were explored. Among the 502 patients who underwent ID consultations, 45 (9.0%) were diagnosed with non-IDs. The most common diagnoses were tumors (22.2%, n = 10), connective tissue and collagen vascular diseases (13.3%, n = 6), other inflammatory diseases (8.9%, n = 4), and drug-induced fever (8.9%, n = 4). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of consultations for diagnosis (odds ratio [OR], 22.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 10.1\u201348.2; p&lt;0.01), consultations from the internal medicine department (OR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.2\u20135.2; p = 0.02), and non-bacteremia cases (OR, 5.2; 95% CI, 1.4\u201319.3; p = 0.01) were independently associated with diagnosed non-IDs. Non-IDs after ID consultations were mainly tumor-related, inflammatory diseases, and drug fever. The presence of consultations for diagnosis, consultations from the internal medicine department and non-bacteremia cases were related to non-IDs among ID consultations. Further research is needed to explore the frequency and pattern of non-IDs to improve the quality of ID consultations in daily practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0295708","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,8]],"date-time":"2023-12-08T18:28:10Z","timestamp":1702060090000},"page":"e0295708","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Non-infectious
