25 September 2003	New citation required and conclusions have changed	This review is an update of the previously published 'Prophylactic syntometrine versus oxytocin for delivery of the placenta' review, which was last amended in February 1999. We have changed the title and have added three new studies to this update; one as an included study and two as excluded studies. Five new outcomes have been assessed. Every section of the original version has been modified, definitions of outcomes have been clarified and the format of the results section has been amended to provide more detail about the studies and discussion of heterogeneity. The contact author is the same but two new reviewers have worked on the review with her. The conclusions remain essentially the same.
