The primary outcome was spontaneous ventricular tachycardia\/ventricular fibrillation. The external validation cohort included patients from 3 countries. A total of 149 patients with Brugada syndrome (84% males, median age of presentation 50 [38\u201361] years) were included. Compared with the nonarrhythmic group (n=117, 79%), the spontaneous ventricular tachycardia\/ ventricular fibrillation group (n=32, 21%) were more likely to suffer from syncope (69% versus 37%,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.001) and atrial fibrillation (16% versus 4%,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.023) as well as displayed longer QTc intervals (424 [399\u2013449] versus 408 [386\u2013425];\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.020). No difference in QRS interval was observed (108 [98\u2013114] versus 102 [95\u2013110],\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.104). Logistic regression found that syncope (odds ratio, 3.79; 95% CI, 1.64\u20138.74;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.002), atrial fibrillation (odds ratio, 4.15; 95% CI, 1.12\u201315.36;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.033), QRS duration (odds ratio, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.002\u20131.06;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.037) and QTc interval (odds ratio, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01\u20131.03;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.009) were significant predictors of spontaneous ventricular tachycardia\/ventricular fibrillation. Increasing the number of latent variables of these electrocardiographic indices incorporated from n=0 (logistic regression) to n=6 by nonnegative matrix factorization improved the area under the curve of the receiving operating characteristics curve from 0.71 to 0.80.
