Spanish term or phrase: a partir de la cual la mortalidad se dispara
I am just having trouble getting this sentence into neat English. Any help would be appreciated.

En los hospitales, se habla de ola de calor cuando la temperatura máxima diaria sobrepasa los 36 [grados]. Uno de los resultados obtenidos en el estudio es que la temperatura a partir de la cual la mortalidad se dispara (36.5 grados C), coincide con la temperatura a partir de la cual aumentan drásticamente las admisiones hospitalarias.

Thank you!

Explanation:
One of the findings of the study is that the temperature at which the mortality rate begins to increase sharply (36.5 degrees C), and the temperature at which hospital admissions begin to increase drastically are connected/may have a direct correlation

Perhaps I needn't have included "that there is"!

I have just seen your answer. In the meantime I had to send off the translation, but I had put "at which" each time as that was the main part bothering me; so I finally worked it out myself...but this confirms my thoughts.

Many thanks!
