Vutthikraivit et al. (2018) conducted a meta-analysis in Brugada Syndrome (n=369,068). General adult population was evaluated on Worldwide pooled prevalence of Brugada syndrome (0.5 per 1,000, 95% CI 0.3-0.7). The worldwide pooled prevalence of Brugada syndrome was 0.5 per 1,000 (95% CI 0.3-0.7), with the highest prevalence observed in Southeast Asia.
