dc.description.resumoObjective: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of our Facebook fan page and compare it to similar pages. Methods: The authors reviewed page-specific metrics provided by Facebook, including number of fans, their age and sex, and country of origin; number of views, likes, and shares tied to our posts. A search for similar fan pages using keyword "endometriosis" found pages in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. They were analyzed for country of origin, authors, number of fans and posts, and were compared to our page. Results: Our fan page went online on April 2016 and 127 posts have been published up to December 2017. Most of its 1746 fans (89% women; 11% men) were Brazilians (n=1677). Our audience comprised primarily women aged 25-34 (39%) and 35-44 (30%) years. The most viewed posts discussed thrombosis and oral contraceptives (n =11078); continuous use of oral contraceptives (n=6448); deep endometriosis (n=4425); intrauterine levonorgestrel system (n=4045); IVF and endometriosis (n=2885); and endometriosis and cancer (n=2431). Our search found 399 Facebook pages from 44 different countries. The United States (n=81), Brazil (n=49), and the United Kingdom (n=46) topped the list of countries hosting pages, while most of the fan pages were written in English. The majority of the pages were active and 20% claimed they were based on science. Physicians administered four of the 10 most popular pages. Page heterogeneity prevented comparisons between them. Conclusion: Men and women have visited our Facebook fan page to obtain information on endometriosis. The pages found in our search were exceedingly heterogeneous and were not compared. Developing pages with sound information is an important step toward educating individuals about endometriosis and helping them make informed choices on available treatments.pt_BR
