a tibble with (potential) error codes ready for import into the `events_quality` table.
Evaluates events as being out of range in the broadest possible sense. This includes: being numerically out of range, categorical data not in a predefined set, and codes not conforming to the appropriate standard (post codes, ICNARC etc). These ranges have been decided based upon ICNARC reference ranges, prior evidence (usually case report for exceptional values) or expert opinion. Reference ranges are all found in in the [qref] and can be overridden by supplying a range to the `range` argument.
