Evaluate event temporal boundaries
evaluate_bounds(x = NULL, los_table = NULL)
| x | extracted dataitem returned by [extract()] |
|---|---|
| los_table | an episode length table returned by [characterise_episodes()] |
a tibble with (potential) error codes ready for import into the `events_quality` table.
Evaluates events for being outside the time boundaries of an associated episode. This is not necessarily a problem, for example, microbiology data could be returned after the patient has died or left the ICU. However, it is often demonstrative of a bigger problem in the way in which data has been exported from the source hospital. For example, data is sometimes contributed from more than one episode, and duplicated across the episodes.
