Indonesia is the second country in the world with the largest tuberculosis burden. This study aims to determine the relationship of sociodemographic characteristics with the results of pulmonary tuberculosis therapy at Banyumas Regional Public Hospital for the period 2019-2021. This study used a case-control method. The inclusion criteria in this study were new pulmonary tuberculosis patients at the Banyumas Regional Public Hospital and patients aged ≥18 years, both male and female.
