Could I use OS(overall survival) as the trait data in the WGCNA analysis?

I have limited trait data. Could I use OS(overall survival) as the trait data in the WGCNA analysis? And thus directly analyze the relationship between the OS and the modules?

Yes, you can certainly do that. The trait analysis should show you any positive or negative correlation between this trait and any modules.
