Solicited consultations constitute a substantial workload for infectious disease specialists (IDSs). The impact of physician adherence to recommendations on clinical outcomes following solicited IDS consultations has not been previously studied. The objectives of the study were to identify the factors associated with adherence and to determine whether adherence to recommendations was associated with better clinical outcomes.
