This study aimed to explicitly link barriers and coping strategies using end-user input.

- * A study involving 45 HD patients used the Cognitive Reserve Questionnaire and neuroimaging to assess the relationship between cognitive engagement and brain changes.

Article Synopsis
- Causal directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) are useful tools for visually representing causal relationships, but are underutilized in psychology despite their benefits in study design and analysis.
- A scoping review identified guidelines from 11 sources on developing DAGs, highlighting variations in handling confounding variables and the integration of domain knowledge.
- The paper offers key recommendations for effective DAG development, supported by an illustrative example to enhance practical understanding.
Purpose: Few studies have compared patient characteristics, clinical management, and outcome of patients with COVID-19 between the different epidemic waves. In this study, we describe patient characteristics, treatment, and outcome of patients admitted for COVID-19 in the Antwerp University Hospital over the first three epidemic waves of 2020-2021.
Methods: Retrospective observational study of COVID-19 patients in a Belgian tertiary referral hospital.
