Background: Clubfoot, also known as CTEV (Congenital Talipes Equinovarus), is a foot deformity characterized by varus of the hindfoot, adductus of the forefoot (metatarsus), arched middle leg (cavus), and equinus. Untreated CTEV causes physical, social, psychological, and financial burdens that worsen the patient's condition, family, and community around the patient. Methods: This research is an observational analytic study in which data was collected in the city of Medan in December 2021 and the number of samples in this study was 38. Results: Patients with low paternal education had a 3.5 times risk of having a first visit time of > 1 year compared to those with high paternal education. Patients with low maternal education had a risk of 3,212 times having a first visit time of > 1 year compared to those with high maternal education. Patients with low paternal income are 3,261 times more likely to have a first visit time of > 1 year than those with high paternal income. Conclusion: Socioeconomic factors such as father's education, mother's education, and father's income were significantly related to the first visit of pediatric patients with clubfoot to health facilities.
