Beazley 1970.

Methods	Randomisation method not reported.
Participants	300 women, 35 to 43 weeks. 11 cases of intrauterine death.
Interventions	Intravenous oxytocin (maximum 67 mU/min) versus intravenous prostaglandin E2 (maximum 6.7 ug/min). Infusions doubled every hour until labour was established. Successful induction was deemed as a cervical dilatation of 6 cm or delivery was achieved within 12 hours. Amniotomy performed at an unspecified time.
Outcomes	Primary outcome data available for serious neonatal morbidity only. Secondary data available for low Apgar scores. Failed induction reported by 12 hours but this is defined as a cervix less than 6 cm dilated.
Notes	1 neonatal death (cord around the neck) and one intrapartum death in the prostaglandin E2 group.
