Core Tip	This prospective observational study investigated the clinical value of serum oncostatin M in patients with community-acquired pneumonia complicated by diabetes mellitus. Serum oncostatin M levels were significantly elevated in these patients and were associated with disease severity, inflammatory burden, and 1-year mortality. Oncostatin M was an independent predictor of mortality, and its combination with confusion, uremia, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and age ≥ 65 years score improved prognostic performance. These findings suggest that oncostatin M may serve as a useful adjunctive biomarker for risk stratification and prognosis prediction in this high-risk population.
